Answer:

It is a linear function because there is a constant rate of change in both the input and output values

Explanation:

To determine if the function is linear, calculate the differences between the y values.

If the differences are constant, or the same value, the equation is linear and has a constant slope. If the differences are not the same, the equation is not linear.

difference between y values (output)

7 - 4 = 3

3 - 1 = 3

1 - -2 = 3

⇒ the function is linear

difference between x values (input)

-2 - -5 = 3

-5 - -8 = 3

-8 - -11 = 3

⇒ the function is linear as there is a constant rate of change in both the input and output values
