Question

Determine whether the equation defines y as a linear function of x. If so, write it in the form y = mx + b. If not, enter NONE.

8x + 6y = 2

(a) Is this function linear?

Answer 1

yes it is a linear function and it could be written as y=(2-8x)/6= (1-4x)/3

Answer 2

for a function to be linear...highest order (or power or exponent) of term in the equation should be one

Answer 3

typing it in atm

Answer 4

y=(-4/3)x+(1/3)

Answer 5

does it help you?

Answer 6

May I define the term "linear function" in a slightly different statement:

Answer 7

The dependence of Result-y upon the Variable-x is called linear when it is of the form
\[y = m*x + b \] where m is A NUMBER , and called slope/coefficient and b is another number (sometimes called "intersection")

Answer 8

So Z.W. - the answer of gh. is of the form that does indeed fit the definition of a linear func.

Answer 9

Moreover -

Answer 10

He also computed for u the actual numbers m and b
