A Linear function because the slope is constant.
If dollars represents the "y value" and quarters the "x value"
Then slope = rise/run = 1/4

\(y = \frac{1}{4} x\)

The situation represents the linear function.

Given that,

  • There are 4 quarters in one dollar.
  • The total no of dollars represents the function of the no of the quarter.

Based on the above information, we can say that

When dollar presents y value and the quarter presents x value

So, the slope should be \(\frac{1}{4}\)

The linear function should be \(y = \frac{1}{4}x\)

Therefore we can conclude that the situation represents the linear function.
