Question

Which term describes a function in which the y values form an arithmetic sequence

Answer 1

Hi!

The answer is B. Linear function.

A linear function is when the change in y and x is constant. For example, let's make some x and y values.

x 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
y 3, 6, 9, 12, 15

When x increases by 1, y increases by 3. The change in x and y is constant, therefore, that is a linear function.

x 6, 9, 13, 26
y 3, 5, 10, 11

There is no pattern in those numbers, therefore this is not a linear function.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

C) linear increase

An arithmetic sequence is the increase of the same amount each time. This means that the line would be traveling upwards with no change to slope. Therefore, linear increase is your best choice
