Question

Part A: A graph passes through the points (0, 2), (2, 6), and (3, 12). Does this graph represent a linear function or a non-linear function? Explain your answer in words. Part B: Write one example of a linear function and one example of a non-linear function. (Use x and y as the variables

Answer 1

Part A)

No, it does not represent a linear equation. When you plug the points in a coordinate plane, the points do not line up as a singular line or in a line at all, but instead a curve. It represent a non-linear function.

Part B)

Example of Linear Function:

Y= 3x+4

Example of a non-linear Function:

Y= $2^{x}$
