Question

Select all true statements that represent a linear function

1.a linear function grows by equal amounts over equal intervals

2.a linear function can decrease by equal amounts over equal intervals

3.a linear function grows by different amounts over equal intervals

4.a linear function can be modeled using the equation y=mx+b

5.a linear function must have x as an exponent when using the equation

Answer 1

The correct statements that represent a linear function are :

1.a linear function grows by equal amounts over equal intervals

2. a linear function can decrease by equal amounts over equal intervals

4. a linear function can be modeled using the equation y=mx+b

A linear function may be increasing, decreasing, or constant. It will be a straight line with an x and y intercept and the same slope through the whole line.
