8n-9m=6-3m
Is that a linear equation?
--------------------------
Let's assume that m is the independent variable
and n is the dependent variable.
Solve the equatin for "n" as follows:
Simplify:
8n = 6+6m
n = (3/4) + (3/4)m
--------------
Yes, this is a linear equation with slope = 3/4
and n-intercept = 3/4
