If the above set of ordered pairs is a function, is it a linear or a nonlinear function?(1 point)
Responses
The set of ordered pairs is a linear function.
The set of ordered pairs is a linear function.
The set of ordered pairs is neither a linear nor nonlinear function.
The set of ordered pairs is neither a linear nor nonlinear function.
The set of ordered pairs is a nonlinear function.
The set of ordered pairs is a nonlinear function.
The set of ordered pairs was not a function.
You have not provided the actual set of ordered pairs to evaluate. In order to determine whether the set represents a linear function, nonlinear function, or if it's not a function at all, I would need to see the specific pairs.
Generally speaking:
- A set of ordered pairs is a function if each input (usually the first element in each pair) is paired with exactly one output (the second element in the pair).
- It is a linear function if the relationship between the input (x) and output (y) can be represented by a straight line, which means the rate of change is constant. This is often in the form y = mx + b, where m and b are constants.
- It is a nonlinear function if the rate of change is not constant and the graph is not a straight line. This includes quadratic, exponential, logarithmic, etc.
If you provide the set of ordered pairs, I can help you determine what type of function it is.
