What is the difference between a linear graph and a non linear graph?
Linear graphs make straight lines. Non-linear graphs make thins like parabolas, hyperbolas, and ellipses
How can you tell if a graph is a linear function?
The word linear means in a straight line. If the graph is a line, it is linear. Also, linear equations are of the first order; they contain a variable but not a square (or higher power) of a variable. If the equation contains x2 it is not linear.
What is the difference between linear and non linear?
Linear describes a relationship that exhibits a straight line when plotted on a graph, for example. Non liner is any thing other than a straight line.
How does a linear relationship look different from a nonlinear relationship on graph?
A linear relation is a straight line. A non-linear relation is not - it mayor may not be be a curve.
How does the graph of an exponential function differ from the graph of a linear function and how is the rate of change different?
The graph of a linear function is a line with a constant slope. The graph of an exponential function is a curve with a non-constant slope. The slope of a given curve at a specified point is the derivative evaluated at that point.
What is the difference between a linear graph and a non linear graph?
Linear graphs make straight lines. Non-linear graphs make thins like parabolas, hyperbolas, and ellipses
How can you tell if a graph is an example of linear growth?
Linear growth means that the graph is a straight line.
How can you decide from a graph whether a relationship is linear?
You can decide from a graph wheter a ralationship is linear or non linear if the line is staight is linear but if the line is not straight is not linear.
What does non linear graph mean?
a non linear graph pretty much means the points on the graph do not create a straight line. in order for a graph to be linear both the x axis and y axis have to increase/decrease at a constant rate, while in a non-linear graph when you connect the point it creates a line that isn't straight. however, in experimental data if the points are a bit off, but still in one general area, it can be considered linear.
Can you make predictions from a non linear graph?
no you cannot
What is the difference between a linear graph and a non-linear graph?
linear: LINE example--- line non-linear: not a LINE example--- parabola The other possibility is a graph with a non-linear scale. First a linear scale will have each unit represent the same amount, regardless of where you are on the scale. A semilog scale, has a linear scale in the horizontal direction, and a logarithmic scale in the vertical direction. Exponential functions (such as ex & 10x), will graph as a straight line on this type of graph scale). A logarithmic or log-log scale, has logarithmic scales on both horizontal and vertical axis. Power functions (such as sqrt(x), x2 and x3), graph as a straight line on these scales. See Related Link

A graph of a non-vertical straight line is a?
Linear function
What graph in which the data points don't fall along with a straight line?
A non-linear graph.
How to tell the difference of a linear and non linear function without it on a graph?
A linear function, of a variable x, is of the form ax+b where a and b are constants. A non-linear function will have x appearing in some other form: raised to a power other than 1, or in a trigonometric, or exponential or other form.
What is a non linear?
Equations without exponents generate straight lines when graphed, hence are called linear. If there is an exponent such as x2, then you get curved lines, and the graph is non linear.
What is a non linear number pattern?
does not form a staight line on a graph
