Answer:

(d) No. Slope is not constant.

Explanation:

You want to know if the given graph shows a linear function.

Linear function

The graph of a linear function is a straight line. The points on the graph shown do not form a straight line, so the function is nonlinear.

Rate of change

The rate of change of a function is the ratio of "rise" to "run" between two points in the graph. This ratio is also called the "slope." For a straight line, the rate of change (slope) is constant. That is, a linear function has a constant rate of change.

If the function is nonlinear, its rate of change is not constant. The converse is also true: if the slope is not constant, the function is nonlinear.
