Question

Is the set of numbers represent a linear function ? (1,15), (2,17), (3,21), and (4,27)

Answer 1

No, the set of numbers does not represent a linear function. A linear function follows the form y = mx + b, where m and b are constants. In the given set of numbers, the y-values do not have a consistent increase or decrease that can be represented by a linear equation. The sequence of y-values: 15, 17, 21, 27 does not have a common difference, which is a characteristic of a linear function.
