Graphs: Linear vs. Non-Linear
If you can't re-trace the graph with a ruler, then the function is non-linear.
Equations: Linear vs. Non-Linear
If a variable has an exponent of 2 or more, then the function is non-linear.
Tables: Linear vs. Non-Linear
If ∆x is consistent but ∆y changes, then the function is non-linear.
