HELP PLEASE each statement best explains whether the table represents a linear function or a nonlinear function?
It represents a linear function because its points are on a straight line.
It represents a linear function because its points are not on a straight line.
It represents a nonlinear function because its points are on a straight line.
t represents a nonlinear function because its points are not on a straight line.

Last option.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line that passes through the origin is:

Where "m" is the slope of the line.

The equation for a Proportional relationship has this form:

Where "k" is the Constant of proportionality.

Therefore, the graph of a Proportional relationships is a straight  line that passes through the origin.

As you can observe in the table, the function passes through the origin.

Now,  substitute the point (1,0) into and solve for  "k" :

Repeat the procedure and substitute the point (2,4) into the equation and solve for "k":

Since "k" is not constant, the points given in the table are not on a straight line and, therefore, it represents a nonlinear function.
