Question

Is y = - 8.4x a linear equation?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

yes.... highest power of the pronumeral determines the degree...

Answer 3

y=-8.4x
Or, y+8.4x=0 is a linear equation so yea.

Answer 4

A linear equation is one in which the highest degree (i.e,. the variable with the largest exponent) is 1. Such functions produce straight lines, rather than curved ones, so yes, that is a linear function.
