i'm sorry, i don't have the graph, but is their any way this could work without it? Please help. Thanks

Answer 1

y went up ONE from x = 0 to x = 1
BUT
y went up THREE from x = 1 to x = 2
therefore it is
NOT
linear, the slope changes

then it went up five from 2 to 3 just to make it painful.

You could do a parabola :)
