Answer 1

Function A is NOT LINEAR

Function B is LINEAR

The slope (change in y over change in x) does not follow a linear pattern in function A. That is the increase/decrease in the y coordinates is not at the same rate as that of the x coordinate. Whereas, for the other function, function B, the slope follows a linear pattern, that is the rate of change in y over the rate of change in x is the same rate, that is why function B has a straight line graph
