Question

The ordered pair $(0,-1),(1,0),(2,3),(3,8)$ and $(4,15)$ Graph the ordered pair. Is the function linear?

Answer 1

Step 1: Make a table for ordered pair:

Given: Ordered pair $(0,-1),(1,0),(2,3),(3,8)$ and $(4,15)$ .

$\mathrm{X}$-coordinates	$\mathrm{Y}$-coordinates
$0$	$-1$
$1$	$0$
$2$	$3$
$3$	$8$
$4$	$15$

Step 2: Plot the points on graph.

Now plot points on graph we get,

We can see $\mathrm{y}$ value increases not uniformly (not at constant rate), so function is nonlinear.

Hence, the function is nonlinear.
