Question 59678: Is this equation a linear equation?
y = 3x - 8
Answer by praseena(37)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! yes, y=3x-2 is a linear equation.
explanation:
A linear equation is an equation involving only the sum of constants or products of constants and the FIRST POWER of a variable. Such an equation is equivalent to equating a first-degree polynomial to zero. These equations are called "linear" because they represent straight lines in Cartesian coordinates.
a linear equation in one varible means which contains only one variable.fo example, 6x+3=7 and its general form is ax +b =0, where a and b are constants.
a linear equation in two varibals means which contains two variables.
for example,
y = 3x + 5
the general for of a linear equation in two variable is y=ax+b, where a and b are constants.
