P as a function of W . is it linear function? Explain .Include in your explanation at least two rates of change
|w | 0 |1 |5 |7
|p |25|28|35|43
in this case, a slope-intercept form of a linear function would be where is a slope and is
if ...=>.....=> ....=>
if ...=>.....=> ....=>
so, your linear equation will be
now check if it works for other pairs from the given table
...=>.....=> =>
...=>.....=> =>
as you can see, it does NOT works for these pairs; so, it is a linear function
