For the first set of points (0, 1) and (2, 4), the slope/rate of change is (4 - 1)/(2 - 0) = 3/2.
For the second set of points (-2, 1/4) and (-1, 1/2), the slope/rate of change is (1/2 - 1/4)/(-1 - (-2)) = 1/12.
The slope/rate of change is not constant between the two sets of points as they have different values.
We cannot determine whether the function is linear based on the given information.
What is the average slope/rate of change between (0, 1) and (2, 4)?
What is the average slope/rate of change between (-2, 1/4) and (-1, 1/2)?
Is the slope/rate of change constant (not changing/the same)?
Is the function linear?
