Answer: A. Linear

Explanation:

check the slope between the moving points

slope between (–6, 4) & (–4, 0) = 1

slope between (-4, 0) & (–3, 4) = 1

slope between (-3, 4) & (-1, -7) = 1

the points are collinear and make an angle of 45 degrees with the x-axis

we can have an equation of a line passing through (-6, 4) and slope 1 as

(y + 1) = 1(x + 6)

y = x + 5 is your linear model mostly
