Answer 1

The correct statement regarding the key features of a linear graph is:

The points will make a straight line.

Linear graphs represent relationships where there is a constant rate of change, and thus the plotted points will always form a straight line.

The other statements are not universally true:

• The points do not always have positive values; they can be negative or zero.
• The initial value (y-intercept) is not always zero; it can be any value.
• The rate of change does not vary; in a linear graph, it remains constant.
