To determine if the relationship shown by the data in the table is linear, we need to examine how the charges correspond to the number of hours worked.
A relationship is considered linear if:
1. The increase in one variable results in a consistent increase in the other variable. In other words, for equal increments in hours worked, the charges should increase by a constant amount.
2. The graph of the relationship results in a straight line.
To analyze this further, I'll need the specific charges associated with each of the hours worked (1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, and 4 hours). Please provide the corresponding charges for each hour, and I can help analyze whether the relationship is linear.
