3/5e-2/3f=5 Is this linear or nonlinear? Help please.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

are either e or f in the denominator?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then it's nonlinear

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean no. sorry.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

oh so neither of them are in the denominator?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, they're beside the fraction but not in the denominator.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

alright, then it's linear because you can write it in the form Ae + bf = C where A, B and C are constants.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

or you can graph this and you'll see that a line results

OpenStudy (anonymous):
