Answer:

it is not a constant line

Explanation:

each x value increases by 1, but the y values are all over the place and are in no order.

Answer:

for the line to have a constant slope, the difference of every y- ordinate with the last ordinate has to be equal

to check this, we will use the following formula

y4 - y3 = y2 - y1

if both the LHS and the RHS are equal, the slope is constant and is irregular otherwise

5 - 8 = 7 - 3

-3 = 4

LHS ≠ RHS

Since LHS is not equal to RHS, the slope is NOT constant and hence keeps increasing or decreasing irregularly

Therefore, option 4 (Not a line) is correct
