| Hello, can you please help me find out the difference between a linear and non-linear function? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| I don't know can I? Well I guess I'll help you cense you didn't get mad when I made that joke. Let's get started, first you need a graph with a line through the dots | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| So how do I tell if if it's linear or nonlinear | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Also you can use a chart of number to plot on a graph. If the numbers in the charts have a constant rate of change they it is linear but if it doesn't have constant rate of change it is nonlinear | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Then how do you tell on graph with points plotted with a line through them? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Well that's pretty easy. First of look at the graph is the line straight or is it bending or curved well if it's straight it's linear if it's not straight it is non-linear | |
