Answer:

When something is linear it will meet the criteria, on a graph it will be a straight line, it won't have any curves in it.

When something is nonlinear it doesn't fit the criteria, on a graph it will be curved, never straight

Hope this helps ;)

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear growth means that the y value increases by the same amount for each increase in the x value.

Example:

[tex]y=2x[/tex]

y increases by 2 for every increase in x.

This will be a straight line when graphed.

Counter-example:

[tex]y=x^2[/tex]

y increases by a different amount for each increase in x.

This will be a curved line when graphed.
