Determining Linear Functions

What is the primary method to determine if a table represents a linear function?

• By checking if the values are all positive

• By checking if the table has an equal number of rows and columns

• By examining the change in y over the change in x

• By ensuring all x values are even

Why is the function in number 5 not linear?

• Because the x values are all the same

• Because the y values are all positive

• Because the change in y is not consistent

• Because the table has more rows than columns

How do you calculate the rate of change using a graph?

• By calculating the rise over the run

• By measuring the distance between the points

• By adding the x and y values

• By counting the number of points on the graph

• Points that are nice and obvious

• Points that are on the x-axis

• Points that are far apart
