For the given linear function , which table gives three values of and their corresponding values of ?
Explanation
Context: The function is a constant linear function, and we need the table of three pairs that matches it.
Answer: B) the table with for
Why: A constant function gives the same output for every input: , , and . The correct table must show in every row, which only choice B does.
Traps:
- A) lists for every , treating the constant output as instead of the stated value
- C) lists outputs , a line through the origin with slope ; has slope and never outputs or
- D) lists outputs , a decreasing line; the outputs of never change
