Linear Functions! Will medal and fan!
Which statement best explains whether y = 4x + 8 is a linear function or a nonlinear function?
Options?
Is it multiple choice?
It is a linear function because the graph contains the points (8, 0), (12, 1), (16, 2), which are on a straight line. It is a nonlinear function because the graph contains the points (8, 0), (12, 1), (16, 2), which are not on a straight line. It is a linear function because the graph contains the points (0, 8), (1, 12), (2, 16), which are on a straight line. It is a nonlinear function because the graph contains the points (0, 8), (1, 12), (2, 16), which are not on a straight line.
Do you know what a linear function is?
well a straight line is linear
now put these point in ur equation if they satisfy the equation than its linear and those point will lie on the line
Correct @allibear2012 So, if you have some graph paper, you would take the equation y=4x + 8and graph it.
8 is the y intercept, so you would place a point on (0,8) and then use the slope 4/1 to graph some points. By doing this you can easily tell if an equation is linear or not
So by graphing this, you CAN tell it is linear, so the answer is A
ok thank you
Can you help me with a few more?
@SymbioteBowTie
Which of the following has a graph that is a straight line? Equation 1: y = 4x3 + 6 Equation 2: y = 5x - 4.5 Equation 3: y2 = x - 1 Equation 4: y = 2x2 + 6
im not sure but i think b just check first
first one is incorrect
