Scarlett is trying to determine if the relationship between the distance she walks and the time it takes her is linear or nonlinear. What can she conclude?

• Linear because the graph of distance versus time is a straight line.

• Linear because the graph of distance versus time is NOT a straight line.

• Nonlinear because the graph of distance versus time is a straight line.

• Nonlinear because the graph of distance versus time is NOT a straight line.

Ethan is trying to determine why the graph of a certain function is nonlinear. What could be the reason?

• The function is nonlinear because it represents a vertical line.

• The function is nonlinear because it represents a straight line.

• The function is nonlinear because it represents a graph that goes up and down.

• The function is nonlinear because it represents a curved graph.
