Answer:

No, because it does not have a constant rate of change

Explanation:

look at the changes of the y values when going from one x value to the next.

x always changes by 1.

but y changes by +7, +5, +6.

the change rate is the ratio y/x.

as we can see, this changes in each interval.

so, the change rate is not constant.

but this is the deciding property of a linear function. as the name says, a linear function is a straight line. it has the same incline (= changes rate) everywhere on the line. otherwise it is not a straight line.
