Question

a table where the output values increase by a constant amount represents a \underline{\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad} function.

Explanation:

In a function, if the output (dependent variable) increases by a constant amount for each unit increase in the input (independent variable), it's a linear function. This is because the rate of change (slope) is constant, which is a key characteristic of linear functions (e.g., \(y = mx + b\), where \(m\) is the constant rate of change).

Answer:

linear
