Activity
In this activity, you will use a table of coordinate points to determine whether a function is linear or nonlinear. Billy hit a baseball to the bottom of
the outfield wall. The table gives points in the function representing the helght of the baseball in terms of the horizontal distance traveled by the
ball. Help Billy find whether this function is linear or nonlinear.

150 78
300 3
The value of x represents the horizontal distance traveled by the baseball, and the value of y represents the height of the ball from the ground.
-Part A
To determine whether a function is linear or nonlinear, check whether the rate of change is constant for every pair of coordinates. What is the rate
change in y, for the first two pairs of coordinates?
of change, change in

Respuesta :

Answer: The rate of change in the y coordinate is 75. 78 - 3= 75.

Answer:

Part a: Answer is 1/2

78 - 3/150 - 0 = 75/150

= 1/2

Part b: Answer is -1/2

3 - 78/300 - 150

= -75/150

= -1/2

Part c: No, the two rates aren’t the same, because one is positive and the other is negative.

Part d: The rate of change of the function determined by using the two pairs of coordinates is not the same. So, the function modeling the movement of the ball is a nonlinear function
