Exercise 19 Page 311

Calculate the rate of change between the data points.

Linear, see solution.

Practice makes perfect

We want to determine whether the given table represents a linear or nonlinear function. To do this, we will calculate the rate of change between data points.

table

We can see that as x increases by 3, y increases by 9 each time. The rate of change is constant, so this function is linear.
