Question

One characteristic of all linear functions is that they change by?

1.)equal factors over equal intervals

2.)unequal factors over equal intervals

3.)equal differences over equal intervals

4.) unequal differences over equal intervals

Answer 1

Equal differences over equal intervals, because a linear function is a function whose value is being incremented by the same value over and over. 2. Is also a technically correct but non-useful property of a linear function.

Answer 2

3.)equal differences over equal intervals

Explanation:

A linear function has a constant rate of change.

A rate of change is the difference in the dependent variable for every change in the independent variable.

This means it has equal differences over equal intervals.
