Describe the differences between the graphs, tables, equations, and verbal descriptions of the Linear and Nonlinear functions.

1. The graph of a linear function shows a constant rate of change. A nonlinear function does not have a constant rate of change. So, its graph is not a line. Does the table represent a linear or nonlinear function?While all linear equations produce straight lines when graphed, not all linear equations produce linear functions. In order to be a linear function, a graph must be both linear (a straight line) and a function (matching each x-value to only one y-value). ... is a linear equation but does not describe a function. 2. An equation is a mathematical expression that contains an equals symbol. Equations often contain algebra. Algebra is used in maths when you do not know the exact number in a calculation. 3. As we stated earlier, nonlinear functions are functions that are not linear functions. Therefore, they have the opposite properties of a linear function. The graph of a linear function is a line. Thus, the graph of a nonlinear function is not a line.

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
