This data is an example of A. a linear function

B. a nonlinear function

C. neither a linear nor nonlinear function - it is not a
function at all

B because I learned about it

Look, when you want to do something like put it like x^2. x2 could mean x² or x₂. so to clear confusion, know the notation. to find the product multiply the x's and you get -8x and the y's and you get 6y. since it's all being multiplied it is just -8x6y, or answer a. although the better answer is -48xy(combining -8 and 6) because you should multiply constants whenever you can.
