Mrs. jackson gives the table below to her students. in order for the function to be linear, what must m be and why? m  = 22 because the rate of change is 1. m  = 20 because the rate of change is 3. m  = 22 because the rate of change is –1. m  = 20 because the rate of change is –3.

According to the table, if x increases by 1 from 4 to 5, y decreases by 3.

Also, if x increases by 1 from 5 to 6, y must be 3 less than 23, or 20, for all 3 points to be collinear.

m = 20 because the rate of change is –3.

hi,

you half the rectangle that you ae asking about so then you would see the scale factor of 1/2 the one u have selected, the one on top is half.

hope this !
