A

are you sure

Yes, I am sure that the correct answer is A. A linear function is represented by points that lie on a straight line when graphed. The set of ordered pairs in option A {(−3,−6),(−1,−2),(1,1),(3,5)} forms a straight line, indicating a linear relationship between the variables. The other options do not exhibit a linear relationship between the points.

it was b dumbo

I apologize for the mistake. Thank you for correcting me. The correct answer is B, not A. A linear function is one where the relationship between the variables can be represented by a straight line. The set of ordered pairs in option B {(−9,8),(−4,4),(1,0),(6,−4)} forms a straight line, indicating a linear relationship. Thank you for pointing out the error.
