Study the table. Which best describes the function represented by the data in the table?

  linear with a common first difference of 2

Step-by-step explanation:

On the face of it, you can reject answers that ascribe a common ratio to a linear or quadratic function. (A common ratio is characteristic of an exponential function.)

You can also reject the answer that ascribes a common first difference to a quadratic function. (A quadratic function has a common second difference.)

After you reject the nonsense answers, there is only one remaining choice. It is also the correct one:

  linear with a common first difference of 2

The ratio of change in y to change in x is ...

  (0 -(-2))/(-2 -(-3)) = 2

  (4 -0)/(0 -(-2)) = 2

  (12 -4)/(4 -0) = 2

That is, y increases by 2 when x increases by 1. The common first difference is 2.

w'x is 0.
