Final answer:

The given options form straight lines except for option C, making it not a linear function.

The answer is option ⇒c) C. (-4, 9), (0, 7), (2, 6), (6, 4), (8, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear functions are functions that can be represented by a straight line. To determine whether each of the given options is a linear function, we need to check if the points on each option form a straight line when plotted on a graph.

  • Option A: (4, -6), (7, -12), (8, -14), (10, -18), (2, -2)
  • Option B: (-2, -6), (1, 0), (4, -30), (0, 2), (7, -96)
  • Option C: (-4, 9), (0, 7), (2, 6), (6, 4), (8, 3)
  • Option D: (2, 18), (6, 50), (-3, -22), (0, 2), (3, 26)

By plotting the points on a graph, we can see that options A, B, and D form straight lines, while option C does not. Therefore, option C is not a linear function.

The answer is option ⇒c) C. (-4, 9), (0, 7), (2, 6), (6, 4), (8, 3)
