Question 12 • High School Math 2 A
Linear growth or change happens by adding or subtracting the same amount over equal time intervals. Martin adds $25 each week, and the athlete loses 2 pounds each week, so both have a constant change. Mei-Lin earns a constant $9 per hour, so her earnings increase by the same amount for each hour worked. Cali’s 3% yearly raise is a percentage of her current pay, so the dollar increase changes over time rather than staying constant.
