Answer:

The correct option is C) Yes; the change in x is constant and the change in y is constant.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the table shown.

x y

0 8

1 1

2 -6

3 -13

Now observe the changes in x and y coordinates, if changes are constant then the given function is linear.

Consider the change in x coordinate.

1-0=1, 2-1=1 and 3-2=1

Now consider the change in y coordinate.

1-8=-7, -6-1=-7 and -13-(-6)=-13+6=-7

Since the change in x and y is constant the given relationship is linear.

Therefore, the correct option is (C) Yes; the change in x is constant and the change in y is constant.
