Multiple Select

To determine if a relation in a table is a linear function, I need to

• Use the vertical line test.

• Check $$\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}$$

  This rate of change must be the same.

• Look for the y-intercept.

• Look for the initial value.

Multiple Choice

Is this table showing a linear or nonlinear function?

• Linear, the slope is constant

• Nonlinear, the slope is not constant

Match

Match the following

Linear; it is written in form y=mx; m= 1/3

Nonlinear; x is in the denominator

nonlinear; x is squared; not in y=mx +b format

Linear; it is in y=mx+b; m=-2/5

nonlinear; taking the square root of x;

not in y=mx +b format
