Question

Which statement best explains whether the following graph represents a linear or nonlinear function?

coordinate plane with a graph that passes through the points negative 4 comma 0 and negative 2 comma negative 1 and 0 comma negative 2

The graph represents a linear function because there is a constant rate of change.
The graph represents a linear function because the rate of change is not constant.
The graph represents a nonlinear function because there is a constant rate of change.
The graph represents a nonlinear function because the rate of change is not constant.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer C

Answer 2

The graph represents a nonlinear function because the rate of change is not constant.

Explanation:

linear graph is a straight line with a constant rate of change which the graph showed clearly doesn't represent.
