4.4 Linear versus Nonlinear Functions
What's the difference?
2
Linear vs. Nonlinear
Linear functions shows a constant rate of change.
Nonlinear functions do not have a constant rate of change.

From an Equation
Can be written in the form y=mx+b (m and b are numbers)
Can be written in the form of y=mx (m is a number & y-intercept is the origin)
Can be written in the form y=b (b is a number & slope is zero, not undefined)
We will use desmos.com/calculator to determine whether an equation is linear or nonlinear
