Whether the given situation represents linear or non-linear function
Answer to Problem 24PPS
The situation represents a linear function
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Amanda earns $7.80 per hour
Calculation:
The table for Amanda’s earnings can be made as follows:
Here, ‘x’ denotes ‘Hours’ and ‘y’ denotes ‘Earnings’
x | y |
1 | $7.80 |
2 | $15.60 |
3 | $23.40 |
4 | $31.20 |
5 | $39.00 |
6 | $46.80 |
Linear Functions: The graph of linear functions is always a straight line. These functions have the form
The slope of the linear graph always remains constant. The slope of the equation is given by:
From the given table, we can see that slope of the given data always remains constant i.e. 7.80
Hence, the given data represents alinear function.
