a.Linear

b. Non-linear

1) Let's calculate these differences so that we can tell whether these are linear or non-linear functions from these tables

2) So, setting the tables we've got:

a)

x | y First Differences

-2| -5 -5 - (-2) = -5 +2 = -3

-1| -2 -2 - 1 = -3

0| 1 1-4 = -3

1| 4

Since the first differences yield the same result, -3 then we can tell this is a Linear Relation.

b) Examining the second table we've got

x| y First Difference

2 10 10-5 = 5

4 5 5-2 =3

6 2 2-1 = 1

8 1

Then, as we can see this is a non-linear relation.
