The video tutorial covers the differences between linear and non-linear functions, explaining how to identify them using tables and graphs. It discusses the characteristics of linear functions, such as a constant rate of change, and contrasts them with non-linear functions. The tutorial also explores equations that represent these functions and compares simple and compound interest as examples of linear and non-linear growth. Finally, it provides exercises for students to practice identifying function types.

What is a key characteristic of a linear function's graph?

• It forms a curve.

• It has a constant rate of change.

• It is always horizontal.

• It has varying slopes.
