Graph the function by the table. is the function linear or nonlinear? a. nonlinear b. linear

Option A - Non-linear              

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Graph the function by the table.

x           y

1          12.3

2         19.6

3         26.6

4         34.2

5         41.5

To find : Is the function linear or nonlinear?

Solution :

The function is linear when there slopes are equal.

So, we find the slope of the points.

Taking point, and

Taking point, and

We have seen that slope between points are not equal.

Therefore, The given points are non-linear.

So, Option A is correct.
