The table should have an X column and a Y column (they might be labeled differently, but that's what they are), so graph the first point by taking the first X and the first Y and graph it as (X,Y), then graph the other points. If you can draw a straight line through the points, it's linear and you can then write an equation for that line (y-intercept is probably what is most familiar: y = mx + b)

dudewheresmy car14. If I understand your question, linear data will make a line when you plot it. Nonlinear data will make something that isn't a line. For example, if you were to plot y=x^2, you're going to get an exponential curve. If you plot y=3x, you're going to get a straight line. Juke is right, you might need to write the equation or be more descriptive in order to get this one answered properly
