A linear function will....

• ... have a constant rate of change and be a curved line

• ... have a constant rate of change and be a straight line.

• ... not pass the vertical line test

• ... graph as a curved line

Answer explanation

linear = constant rate of change = straight line

Where do you find the initial value on a graph?

• Where the graph touches the y-axis (x=0)

• Where the graph touches the x-axis (y=0)

• At the Origin

Answer explanation

The initial value is the y-value when x=0, so look at the y-axis.
