A nonlinear function: OA. can be adequately described by a straight line between the dependent variable and one of the explanatory variables. B. is a concept that only applies to the case of a single or two explanatory variables since you cannot draw a line in four dimensions. C. makes little sense, because variables in the real world are related linearly. D. is a function with a slope that is not constant.
