The speed of a snowboarder from uphill to downhill can be modeled using the equation y=x^2+1 where x is in minutes. The snowboarder's speed at time 0 is 1 and is 2 at time 1. The snowboarder claims that this proves his speed increases linearly. Is he right?

A. Yes, because two points are needed to define a line
B. No, because the equation is not linear
C. No, because the two points have positive values only
D. No, because it does not cross the x-axis

answer is B.
It's not true since the equation is not a linear equation.
hope this helps

In this given question, the equation is not linear.

What is a linear equation?

The linear equation is an equation where the variable has the highest power of 1. The general form of a linear equation is Ax + By + C = 0. Here, x and y are variables. A, B, C are constants.

Here, the given equation is y = x² + 1.

It is a quadratic equation, not a linear equation. As a result, whatever the speed the snowboarder has, it is never linear.
