determine whether each equation is a linear equation. Explain. If an equation is linear, identify A,B, and C.
y=-1
3x=5y+7
==================
They're both linear. The highest exponent is a 1, so they're 1st order, linear. If you graph them it's a straight line, or linear.
-------------------
For the 1st:
0x + 1y = -1, so I suspect A, B and C are 0, 1 and -1 respectively, but I'm not certain.
