Why is this function nonlinear?

• This function is nonlinear because it has a constant rate of change.

• This function is nonlinear because it does not have a constant rate of change.

• The function is nonlinear because the y-intecept is (0,1)

Which answer choice is true?

• The table represents a linear function because there is a pattern for the x-coordinates and y-coordinates.

• The table represents a linear function because the ratio of the change in the y value and the change in the x value is constant.

• The table represents a nonlinear function because the ratio of the change in the y value and the change in the x value is not constant.

• The table does not represent a function because there is more than one output for at least one input.
