OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is a linear equation right everyone??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Maybe she thinks it's just a point.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A linear equation is of the form, Ax+By+C=0 where A and B both cant be zero. Hence its true. @cuddlepony

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not just a point no matter what you input into x it will always = 5 thus it is a constant function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The Out put of the function is always equal to 5 the input of the function is a variable Thus it is a constant line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, so cant it be treated as a special case?

oh I was wrong sorry Just looked at the definition of linear, it is linear. Mathematics able to be represented by a straight line on a graph; involving or exhibiting directly proportional change in two related quantities: linear functions | linear relationship. 2 progressing from one stage to another in a single series of steps; sequential: a linear narrative.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is not a special case.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
