Using function concepts, we have that:1. Non-linear2.B)x y0 11 22 53 103. Linear4.: Linear: Linear: Non-Linear: Linear5. LinearIn a linear function, the rate of change is constant.A linear function is also of the first degree.Item 1:From -3 to -1, the rate of change is of From -1 to 1, the rate of change is of .Different rates of change, so non-linear.Item 2:At function b, from 0 to 1, the rate of change is of 1, from 1 to 2 of 3, different rates of change, so non-linear.Item 3:Highest degree of x is 1, so first degree, and thus linear.Item 4:The only non-linear is , which is of the second degree. is a constant function, with a rate of change of 0, so linear.The last function is written as:Highest degree of x is 1, so also linear.Item 5:In all cases, the rate of change is constant, so linear.
