Question

Draw a graph for the following.

Side of square (in cm)	2	3	4	5	6
Area (in cm2)	4	9	16	25	36

Is it a linear graph?

Answer 1

Choosing a suitable scale,

For x-axis, 1 unit = 1 cm and for y-axis, 1 unit = 4 cm²

We can represent the side of a square on the x-axis and the area of that square on y-axis. A graph of the given data is as follows.

It is not a linear graph.
