GPT-4o mini · Answer

To accurately finish Susie's sentence about linear functions, the following choices should be checked:

... be a line.
... have inputs and outputs.
... pass the vertical line test.

The other choices are not correct because a linear function cannot be a curve, and it can have either a positive or negative slope (or even a slope of zero, which is a horizontal line).
