Answer:

Left: yes it is linear

Right: No it is not.

Explanation:

Left Problem

The table on the left is linear. It's general form is

y = 6x + 7

x = 5

y = 5*6 + 7

y = 37

-------------------

x = 8

y = 6*8 + 7

y = 48 + 7

y = 55

------------------

y = 6*12 + 7

y = 72 + 7

y = 79

=============

Right Problem

The right problem looks like it is linear. It is not, I don't think. Do the same thing you did above.

y = 62x

x = 2

y = 2*62

y = 124

-----------------------

y = 62x

x = 6

y = 62 * 6

y = 372

---------------------

y = 62*x

x = 9

y = 62 * 9

y = 558

It should be 558 not 552
