The table shows how many days a job takes with different numbers of workers. Would the graph of days against workers be linear?

Class 8Linear GraphsCoordinate Geometry
  • ANo, the points do not lie on a straight line
  • BIt cannot be drawn
  • CYes, it is a straight line
  • DYes, through the origin

Step-by-Step Solution

Doubling workers halves the days (inverse proportion). Days drop by 6 then by 3, not by equal steps, so the points form a curve.
Answer: A) No, the points do not lie on a straight line
