In order to have a linear relationship, each unitary increase in x will always cause the same increase in y.

So looking at each table, we have:

A.

x from 0 to 1: y increased by 0

x from 1 to 2: y increased by -1.

We can already see that the increase in y was different, so this table does not represent a linear relationship.

B.

x from 0 to 1: y increased by 6

x from 1 to 2: y increased by 6

x from 2 to 3: y increased by 6

x from 3 to 4: y increased by 6

In this table the increase in y was constant, so this table represents a linear relationship.

C.

x from 0 to 1: y increased by -1

x from 1 to 2: y increased by -2

This table doesn't represent a linear relationship.

D.

x from 0 to 1: y increased
