Answer:C

Step-by-step explanation: When a table represents a nonlinear function, the rate of change is not constant. A wouldn't be the answer because the rate of change is always +10 (you would add 10 to get from -9 to 1; you would add 10 to get from 1 to 10) . It wouldn't be B because the rate of change is always -2, and the rate of change for D is always +3. For C, however, the rate of change is not constant all the way through (to get from 0 to 6, you would add 6, but to get from 6 to 16 you add 10).
