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.
