at a constant rate ✓

with the same difference
Does this table of values represent a linear relationship?

No. The difference between $-2$ and $3$ in $y$ is different.

No. $x$ changes by $+1$ whereas $y$ changes by $+5$ .

Yes. The $y$ values change constantly by $+5$ as $x$ changes by $+1$ . ✓

We can't know until we plot it and draw a line.

$+1$ in $x$ and $+4$ in $y$ ✓
Does this table of values represent a linear relationship?

No. The $x$ values don't change by $1$ .

No. The $y$ values are decreasing, not increasing.

Yes. The $y$ values change by $-3$ for every change of $+2$ in $x$ . ✓

We can't know until we plot it and draw a line.

A linear graph can be described by its features.
All the coordinates on the line fit the relationship.
The relationship between the coordinates can be described algebraically.
These linear relationships have particular features.
You can move between the algebraic statement and the graphical representation and back using coordinates.

Only equations in the form $y=mx+c$ are linear. All equations are linear.

There are many forms that linear equations can take, however they always share a common feature. The variables have exponents of $1$ .

Linear - The relationship between two variables is linear when they change together at a constant rate and form a straight line when plotted.
