The situation that can be modeled by a linear function is:
**The employees at a local hardware store earn a $2-per-hour wage increase every year they work for the company.**
This situation can be represented with a linear equation, as the wage increases by a fixed amount ($2) for each additional year worked. The other situations involve exponential growth or a discount that does not follow a linear pattern.
