To determine which table of values shows a linear function, you would typically look for consistent changes in the output values (y-values) when the input values (x-values) are incremented by a constant amount. In a linear function, the difference in the y-values divided by the difference in the x-values (slope) should remain constant.

Since I don’t have the actual tables of values (A, B, C) in front of me, I can't evaluate them directly. However, here's how you can approach the problem:

  1. Select one of the tables and look at the x-values and corresponding y-values.
  2. Calculate the change in y for each change in x.
  3. If the changes in y for each step in the x-values are the same or produce a consistent slope, then it represents a linear function.
  4. Repeat for the other tables to compare.

Once you've assessed each table, you can choose the appropriate response based on your findings. If you provide the tables, I could help analyze them. Otherwise, please proceed with the method described!
