This situation represents a linear function because the relationship between the number of quarters and the total number of dollars is constant. For every 4 quarters, the amount increases by 1 dollar, indicating a direct proportionality (y = 0.25x, where y is dollars and x is quarters). This consistent ratio shows a straight-line relationship when graphed.
There are 4 quarters in 1 dollar. The total number of dollars is a function of the number of quarters. Does this situation represent a linear or nonlinear function? Explain why. make it short
