Recognizing Linear Relationships

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Starting with a set of values for the x and y variables, this video shows how to tell whether these points determine a linear or non-linear function. Sal first defines linear functions in terms of the change in y over the change in x, then calculates whether this particular function is linear (it is not). Finally, he plots the points to verify that his conclusion is correct.
