Summary
Focus Question: How can you predict whether a relationship is linear
from a table, a graph, or an equation that represents the relationship?

How can you tell if a graph represents a linear relationship?
The points on the graph will form a straight line.

How can you tell if a table represents a linear relationship?
The x values (independent variable) increase by the
same amount each time for a determined y change.

How can you tell if an equation represents a linear relationship?
The same number will be multiplied by the variable each
time. It will be in the form
d = 3t
or
d = 3t + 1
