How can you decide whether a relationship is linear by studying the words used to describe a variable?

Words such as "proportional to" "increases as" "decreases as", usually give an indication of a linear relation. If there are words like "Square" "power" "inversely proportional" then most likely not linear.

Math tell whether the ordered pair is a solution of the equation?
The idea is to replace one variable in the equation by the first number in the ordered pair, the other variable with the second number in the ordered pair, do the calculations, and see whether the resulting expressions are indeed equal.
How do you decide if a number is a solution to the inequality?
Substitute the number in place of the variable, and see whether the inequality is then a true statement.
what ratios can you use to determine whether the relationship is proportional?
look at the ratios and multiply
How do you find the value of each variable?
There are various methods which depend on the nature of the equation(s) and whether or not the equations can be solved analytically.
How do you tell whether the relationship between two variables is linear?
By definition, if you graph the relationship between two variables and the result is a straight line (of whatever slope) that is a linear relationship. If it is a curve, rather than a straight line, then it is not linear.
How can you decide whether a relationship is linear by studying the pattern in a graph?
The graph must be a straight line, and it must pass through the origin.

What is an independent variable and example?
Independent variables are values that can be changed in a given model or equation. They provide the "input" which is modified by the model to change the "output."A scientist studies how many days people can eat soup until they get sick. The independent variable is the number of days of consuming soup. The dependent variable is the onset of illness.The independent variable is what causes the results.
What is the independent variable Two hundred children are involved in the study one hundred will consume a multivitamin daily and the other one hundred will not?
The independent variable is whether they take the multivitamin or not. The dependent variable is how it affects their health, or whatever you are researching.The independent variable is whether they take the multivitamin or not.

What do results tell you with regard to whether the data is normally distributed?
Your question may be a little overly complex. Usually you start with some degree of confidence that the variable(s) you are studying are normally distributed; you don't do an experiment and wait for the results to tell you. Your confidence that a variable is normally distributed helps you to determine whether or not your results are significantly different from what you would expect by chance. If I have missed the meaning of your question, my apologies.
What variable was tested in Pasteur's experiment?
The tested variable is whether or not things rose spontaneously from the broth.
What is a variable called that is used to indicate whether or not a certain action has taken place?
This variable is called a "switch".
When a researcher wants to determine whether a variable is simply correlated with another variable he or she conducts a(n) .?
experiment
What are scientists looking for when studying a line graph?
They can be looking for the shape of the relationship between the variables (whether it is linear, quadratic, reciprocal), and the domain over which that relationship extends. They may be looking for peaks or troughs in the line, they may be looking for harmonics, or periodicity. The answer really depends on what is being studied.
How do you solve for variable fx in statistics?
It depends on whether fx denotes frequency times variable value or the probability generating function for the variable x.
Is a repeating decimal multiplied by a variab an irrational number?
No, the product is a variable and whether or not it is irrational will depend on the value of the variable.
What is difference between variable and constant?
Whether or not you can change its value.
