No, the table does not represent a linear function

Step-by-step explanation

Linear functions are those whose graph is a straight line. A linear function has the following form. y = f(x) = a + bx. it has one independent variable and one dependent variable. The independent variable is x and the dependent variable is y

Step 1

graph


y=x^3

so, the graph does not represent a linear function , Also

the volume of a cube is given by


\text{Volume}=Side^3^{}

the exponent of the function is 3, and for a linear function the exponent in the varialbe must be 1,

The table represents the volume, y cubic units, of a cube with side lengths of x units-example-1
