@FutureMathProfessor help please

a linear function has an x variable.

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

so the answers b

well here's what b looks like|dw:1370923974273:dw|

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

I see what you mean

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

I'm not sure about that.. 4/x isn't exactly linear

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

I thought a linear function didn't have an x variable.

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

i mean did

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

@FutureMathProfessor I need your assistance

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Well a linear function is a function that looks like a line pretty much :P

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

so 4/x wouldn't make a line because the x variable is in the denominator
