Step 1 of 3

(a) Consider the following table of data:

x

y

1

5

2

8

3

11

4

14

5

17

If the first differences of data outputs are constant for uniform inputs, the linear function can be found that fits the data exactly.

In this table of data, the first differences of data outputs (equal to 3) are constant for uniform inputs.

So, this data set is exactly linear.
