which of my following best describes the equation below? y=3x-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a: neither linear nor nonlinear b: both linear and nonlinear c: linear d: nonlinear

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so first off, do you know what linear and non-linear mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and how it's represented in an equation

OpenStudy (welshfella):

a linear equations contains a variable of first degree only ( for example 2x or 3y) and might have numbers also

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well I was talking to @itsajw , but yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so It's can't be B right? because they are both opposites

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And it can't be A either because it is definitely one or the other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now linear means that is goes in a straight line, if you would graph this, do you think that it would be linear?
