A linear formula is defined as a mathematical function in which the variables appear only in the first degree, are multiplied by constants, and are combined only by addition and subtraction. A linear formula would be written as y=mx+b. The sets of data I will be determining linear or not are based upon the average rounded values for blood alcohol concentration (BAC) for people of different weights, according to how many drinks they …showed first 75 words of 1243 total…
