\Observe the table and plot the ordered pairs .
(b)
\Determine whether the given function is linear or non linear.
\First compute the average rate of change of with respect to
and then compute the ratio of the consecutive outputs.
If the average rate of change is constant, then the function is linear else non-linear.

Observe the table.
\For the function, the average rate of change is .
Since the average rate of change is constant , the function is a linear function.
\(c).
\Definition of the slope :
\If the average rate of change of the function is constant then slope of the line is the average rate of change of the function.
\Slope of the linear function is .
The slope of the function is .
Consider the point .
The general form of linear function is when the point is
and slope
.
Substitute and
inthe function
.
.
The linear function is .
(d).
\The linear fucntion is .
The price of the function is not negative and quantity of the function should noe be negative,then .
The Domain of the function is
or
.

(g).
\The linear fucntion is .
Find the - intercept by substituting
in the function
.
The -intercept is
.
- intercept : When the price is
,
sodas will be demanded.
For finding intercept ,when
