Study this table. x y - 3 - 2 - 2 0 0 4 4 12 Which best describes the function represented by the data in the table? linear with a common ratio of 2 linear with a common first difference of 2 quadratic with a common ratio of 2 quadratic with a common first difference of 2

X1=-3, y1=-2

x2=-2, y2=0

x3=0, y3=4

x4=4, y4=12

r12 = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

r12 = (0 - (-2)) / (-2 - (-3))

r12 = (0+2) / (-2+3)

r12 = (2) / (1)

r12=2

r23 = (y3-y2) / (x3-x2)

r23 = (4-0) / (0 - (-2))

r23 = (4) / (0+2)

r23 = (4) / (2)

r23=2

r34 = (y4-y3) / (x4-x3)

r34 = (12-4) / (4-0)

r34 = (8) / (4)

r34=2

r12=r23=r34=2→Common ratio: r=2

Answer: First option: linear with a common ratio of 2
