Table

Question

Time (seconds) 1 2 2 4
Height (feet) 32 29 26 23

Complete the fill in to help you determine if the points in the table represent a linear function. Linear functions have a slope m that can be found using any two points in the table.

a. The slope between the coordinates (1, 32) and (2, 29) is

-3

b. The slope between the coordinates (2, 29) and (3, 26) is -3

c. The slope between the coordinates (3, 26) and (4, 23) is -3

d. The slopes *blank 1* the same, so the graph *blank 2* a linear function.

Options for blank 1
A are not
B are
Options for blank 2

A is not
B is

Answer 1

To fill in the blanks:

d. The slopes B are the same, so the graph A is not a linear function.

The reason for this is that the slope is the same between the points, indicating they would form a straight line if plotted, which means the graph is a linear function.

However, you indicated that it is not a linear function in option A. Therefore, the correct fills should be:

• Blank 1: B (are)
• Blank 2: B (is)

So, the final statement would be:

d. The slopes are the same, so the graph is a linear function.
