Linear and Nonlinear Relationships

How do you identify if a graph is linear?

• If it forms a curved line

• If the line passes through the starting point

• If the first differences are not the same value

• If it forms a straight line

Now, how do you identify if a graph is nonlinear?

• If the first differences are the same value

• If it forms a curved line

• If it forms a straight line

• If it doesn't have a constant rate of change

The Independent variable is usually on the y-axis.

• True

• False

What is the independent variable?

• What influences/causes the change in the dependent variable

• The variable that isn't directly controlled

• The outcome/result of your question

• The variable on the y axis

What is the 'rate of change'?

• The same as the total change

• How much one thing is changing compared to another

The rate of change is always constant (throughout a graph).

• True

• False

What are 'first differences'?

• The differences between consecutive terms

• The differences between trends and patterns

Tags

CCSS.HSF-LE.A.1B

How do you calculate the first differences?

• By adding consecutive y-values

• By subtracting consecutive y-values
