\[y=-\frac{1}{2}x \text{ is linear}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes it is if you mean y=-x/2 the its a linear line
myininaya (myininaya):
\[y=-\frac{1}{2x} \text{ is \not linear }\]
OpenStudy (karatechopper):
k thts what i thought cuz some one else is confusing me on my other question
myininaya (myininaya):
anything in this form or anything that can be written in this form y=mx+b is a linear equation

i kno
OpenStudy (karatechopper):
can u graph tht for me? i need to check if i am right on my graph
myininaya (myininaya):
y=-x/2?
myininaya (myininaya):
y=mx+b
m=slope=rise/run=-1/2
b=y-intercept=0
so the line goes through the origin
so count down 1 and go over right twice for your next pt
connect the dots and then you are done
OpenStudy (karatechopper):
i did tht but draw what the line looks like so i am sure

myin?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if its y= -x/2 then it is indeed more or less like that yes
OpenStudy (karatechopper):
yay!!! thnx!:)
