Linear vs. Nonlinear Functions!: Identify Linear vs. Non-Linear Functions From A Graph, Equation, or Table

This document discusses the differences between linear and non-linear functions. It provides a graphic organizer to identify linear and non-linear equations, graphs, and tables. Key differences are that linear functions have a constant rate of change, while non-linear functions have a varying rate of change that is not constant. The document uses examples of equations and graphs to illustrate linear and non-linear patterns.

How can I tell if a set of data
points is linear or non-linear?
If the change in y divided by
the change in x is constant,
then the function is linear.

Here, notice that the change


in y is 3. The change in x is 1.
So, the change in y divided by
the change in x equals 3. This
is a linear function.
If the change in y divided by the
change in x is not constant, then
the function is not linear.
Is it linear or non-linear?
