Question 1053292: Determine whether the equation defines y as a linear function of x. If so, write it in the form
y = mx + b.
2√x+3y=0
a. y=-2x
b. y=-3/2x
c. y=-2/3x
d. y is not a linear function of x
Can someone please help me solve this? Thank you very much.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
d. y is not a linear function of x
It is a linear function of sqrt%28x%29 , but it is not a linear function of x .
It is y=2sqrt%28x%29%2F3
graph%28300%2C150%2C-1%2C9%2C-1%2C4%2C2sqrt%28x%29%2F3%29 Not a straight line, is it?
