1. The dependent variable changes at steady rate, as the independent also changes at a steady rate. For example, the independent variable may go up at 1, and the dependant variable may go up by 3. Also the dependent variable may go down by steady rate also, like the independent variable goes up by 1, and the dependent variable goes down by 5.

2. A pattern for a linear relationship shows up in a graph through a straight line. It could be any straight line, horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. As long as its a straight line, its a linear relationship. A linear relationship shows up i a table by the numbers increasing, decreasing, or staying the same in a steady rate. Like, x starts at 1, y starts at 2. Then, as x increases by 1, y stays the same. A linear relationship is shown in a equation by as x increases or decreases, y increases or decreases by a steady rate, not jumping around to random numbers.
