1. y = 5x − 7x
2. a = 3x − 5xz
3. y = 5x − rx − 5
4. sx − tx = r
5. c = 84x − 61

How can you determine whether a
function is linear or nonlinear?
linear relationship - a relationship . . .
with a constant rate of
change
We can tell a relationship is linear if the table . . .
increases or decreases by the same
amount
We can tell a relationship is linear if the graph . . .
is a line
We can tell a relationship is linear if the equation . . .
can be written in the form dv = cr x iv + bp
ie: no exponents, can't divide by x or y, can't
multiply x and y together
Copy and complete each table for the sequence of similar figures. (In
parts (a) and (b), use the rectangle shown.) Graph the data in each
table. Decide whether each pattern is linear or nonlinear. Justify your
conclusion.
