Question

1. The table shows how much a carpenter charges for work. Is the relationship shown by the data in
the table linear? Explain your answer.
Hours Worked Amount Charged $
1 22.50
2 45.00
3 67.50
4 90

Answer 1

No, the relationship shown by the data in the table is not linear. In a linear relationship, the amount charged would increase by the same amount for each hour worked. In this case, the amount charged increases by $22.50 for each additional hour worked. This indicates a non-linear relationship.
