The correct response is:

C It is linear because it increases at a constant rate.

The function \( y = 4.25x + 6 \) represents a linear relationship, where the slope (4.25) indicates that for each additional hour, the total earnings increase by 4.25 units of currency. This means it increases at a constant rate.
