Linear/nonlinear functions • Linear Function–the graph of a linear function has a constant rate of change (straight line) • Nonlinear Function–the graph of a nonlinear function does not have a constant rate of change (straight line) • Note: You can use the pencil test to help determine if a graph is a function
Lesson Quiz Tell whether each set of ordered pairs satisfies a linear function. • {(-3, 10), (-1, 9), (1, 7), (3, 4), (5, 0)} • {(3, 4), (5, 7), (7, 10), (9, 13), (11, 16)} Tell whether each function is linear. 3) y = 3 – 2x 4) 3y = 12 5) Is the graph to the right linear? Why or why not?
