Find out if a function is linear or nonlinear from a graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Believe it or not, we can determine whether a function is linear or nonlinear simply by looking at its graph! Because the rate at which y is changing with respect to x is constant in a linear function, the graph of a linear function is a line, as the name implies. For example, observe the graph of Sophie's function.

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
