No, this is a nonlinear function. Select any pair of x and y values and compare slopes. There's no common slope anywhere. No and B). Also note that when 2 < x < 3, y is DECREASING. But in every other interval it's increasing.

Consider points (0, -29) and (1,-10) slope = (-10 - (-29))/(1-0) = 19 Now consider points (1, -10) and (2,-3) slope = (-3 - (-10))/(2-1) = 7 Since the slopes are different this is NOT a linear function Answers are NO and B
