decide which of the two given functions is linear and find its equation.
x=0,1,2,3,4
f(x)=6,10,14,18,22
g(x)=8,10,12,16,22
-------------------------------
f is a function because y increases 4 for each increase of 1 in x.
-----------------------------------
slope = 4
---
intercept = f(0) = 6
----------------------------
Equation: y = 4x + 6
