Linear

Step-by-step explanation

A linear funciton is a statistical term used to describe a straight-line relationship between two variables,it is defined by


y=mx+b

so, if we hve have

EACH INK CARTRIDGE PURCHASED FOR A PRINTER COST $12

it means the total cost depends on the number of printers and the rate,so


total\text{ cost =}rate*number\text{ of printers}

let

total cost = y

rate= $12

number of printers = 1, so


y=12x

therefore,the answer is

Linear

I hope this helps you
