Linear or Nonlinear Functions (From a Table)

Learn how to tell whether a table represents a linear function or a nonlinear function. We discuss how to work with the slope to determine whether the function is linear or not and if it is linear how to write an equation in slope intercept form. We go through 3 examples in this video math tutorial by Mario's Math Tutoring.

0:17 Example 1(Linear)
0:42 How to find the change in y divided by the change in x
1:15 How to write the equation in y=mx+b form
1:58 Example 2 (Non-Linear)
2:53 Example 3 (Linear)

[sonychka]

In exactly one minute and forty seconds you have successfully taught me what my math teacher has been teaching since November... it’s currently February

[Camila-mnlt]

THIS HELPED ME SO MUCHHHH, i wish you were mu teacher

I am an elementary school teacher working with 8th grade GT students in Math (long story). They are way ahead of me but every one of them missed this concept on a practice test. I reviewed over 20 videos, and your video was the only one that made sense. My students watched it once and were able to solve every problem correctly. You are my new Math Hero! Thank you so much for your clarity and your help!

[hannahcalhoun]

Thank you I sat in my hour and a half algebra 1 class and didn’t understand a thing but your 4 min video cleared everything up

[theusa]

This is good for Pre-Algebra and Algebra I students

THANK YOU - this was something weirdly i was confused on out of three topics and I had no ideda how to find it bc I wasn't paying attention.... THANK YOU

[lenaettibaryan]

Thank you very much for your help. In your next video could you please explain how to find the equation of a non-linear line? So what would the second example's equation be? I know it can vary depending on what kind of graph it is but this would really help me with my studies. Thank you again

[janaaladdien]

im glad i found you i think ill be passing my test tomorrow thank you very much!

How did this guy taught us this quick when my math teacher takes a long time to do so?

[Nikdunno]

this taught me better in 2 minutes than my teacher could in 2 weeks :/

[mr.spicycat]

Awesome, was trying to learn this in class and this really helped. Thank you!

[habibaelhadad]

Sir, what about the rule of the second example (the non linear one)

[joyxu]

Have a math test on this tomorrow. Extremely desperate. You made me understand what my math teacher had been teaching for a week and now I feel more confident in my math skills then I have been this past month.

[lex-nxww]

Thank you so much you made this so simple. My teacher always made this complex. Thanks again! You got another sub.

[twistedsab]

You are concise with precision. thanks very much Sir. I am practicing along your videos, it helps me refreshing my college algebra and calculus.

[heyrina]
