Analyzing Linear and Nonlinear Functions

The video tutorial from Versus Math Club introduces the concept of nonlinear functions, contrasting them with linear functions. It explains that linear functions follow the formula y = MX + B, where M is the slope and B is the y-intercept. The video details how to determine if a function is linear or nonlinear by examining the slope. If the slope remains constant, the function is linear; if not, it is nonlinear. The tutorial also covers how to identify patterns in X and Y coordinates to determine the slope, concluding that varying slopes indicate a nonlinear function.
