Answer:


\text{No the table does not show a linear function because the weight is not}\\\text{changing in constant rate with respect to Age. The weight of a child increases}\\\text{5lbs in 1-2 years, then increases by 8lbs in 2-3 years. This is not a constant}\\\text{rate of change. Hence the function shown in the table is not linear.}
