do you know what it is?

please someone help :)

What is a linear function?
A linear function has the form of y=a+bx, do any of the choices look like that?
OpenStudy (er.mohd.amir):
where is power of x and y are 1 and non negative is liner polynomial

oh ok.. so
c?
OpenStudy (er.mohd.amir):
no
OpenStudy (plainntall):
Let's look at each one
y=3x^2
y=1/3x
y=x^3+5
(2/3)x=y-1 let's solve for y so we have y=(2/3)x+1
which one looks like y=ax+b?
OpenStudy (plainntall):
To put it more clearly
\[y=3x ^{2} ; y=\frac{ 1 }{ 3x } ; y=x ^{3}+5 ; y=\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }x+1\]
OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):
um, A?!

@plainntall ?
OpenStudy (plainntall):
It is the last one.
\[\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }x=y-1\]
The biggest hint is that it has x and y, the others have x squared, x to the -1 power, x cubed
OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):
D?
OpenStudy (plainntall):
Remember that a linear equation looks like
y=ax+b
y=ax^2 is not linear because it has x squared
y=1/(3x) has the x in the denominator so it isn't linear
y=x^3+5 has x cubed so it isn't linear
only (2/3)x=y-1 which can be written as y=(2/3)x+1 looks like y=ax+b where a is 2/3 and b is 1.
OpenStudy (plainntall):
Yes D

ohhhhhh i get it now.. thanks so much!! i have one more question :)
OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):
OpenStudy (plainntall):
Let's think about what happens in each segment
P the distance is increasing with time
Q the distance does not change with time
R the distance is increasing faster with time than in P
S the distance decreases with time
Where do you think the cyclist stopped moving and rank the water from that information.
OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):
Q?
OpenStudy (plainntall):
Great, good job. So that means the cyclist completed what segment before Q where she stopped and drank the water?
