Answer:

Table B

Explanation:

To determine whether or not something is linear, we find the slope between two different coordinates and see if that slope remains consistent throughout the data. To find the slope between two points, use the equation (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Table A --> (-1-5)/(3-2) = -6/1 = -6

Now we have to see if the slope remains consistent in "Table A" by finding the slope using two other coordinates:

(6-3)/(5-4) = 3/1 = 3

We see that the slope is not consistent in Table A, so we repeat the same steps with the other Tables to find one with a consistent slope.

Table B --> (0- -3)/(5-3) = 3/2

(6-3)/(9-7) = 3/2

Table B's data creates a consistent slope, so Table B represents a linear function.
