Example: Given a linear function represented by a table of values and a linear function represented by an algebraic expression, determine which function has the greater rate of change.
Example: The function A=s2 giving the area of a square as a function of its side length is not linear, because its graph contains the points (1,1), (2,4), and (3,9), which are not on a straight line.
