C) Neither

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There is not enough information given about the function to determine if it is linear or constant. A linear function has a constant rate of change and a constant function has a y-value that does not change for any x-value input. Without knowing the specific equation or values of the function, we cannot determine if it fits either of these categories. Therefore, the answer is C, neither. Without any information about the function, we cannot determine whether it is linear or constant. Therefore, the only valid option is "neither."
