| Question 62985This question is from textbook college algebra
 :  Determine if the following equations are linear.
 3x + 2(x-4y)=2x-y
 x-3 over 2 = 4+y over 5
 
 
 x-2x^2+3= x-7 over 2
 
 Determine the x and y intercepts of the following linear equations, if possible, and then graph the equations.
 4x-3y=12                         x+2y=7               y-x=x-y

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3x + 2(x-4y)=2x-y 3x+2x-8y=2x-y
 3x=7y
 y=(3/7)x
 Yes, it is linear.
 -----------------
 x-3 over 2 = 4+y over 5
 (x-3)/2 = (4+y)/5
 5(x-3)=2(4+y)
 5x-15=8+2y
 2y=5x-23
 y=(5/2)x-(23/2)
 Yes, it is linear.
 ---------------
 x-2x^2+3= x-7 over 2
 2x-4x^2+6=x-7
 4x^2-x-13=0
 Not linear
 ------------------
 Determine the x and y intercepts of the following linear equations, if possible, and then graph the equations.
 4x-3y=12
 Let x=0, y=-4 (This is the y-intercept)
 Let y=0, x=3  (This is the x-intercept)
 ---------------------
 x+2y=7
 Let x=0, y=7/2 (This is the y-intercept)
 Let y=0, x=7   (This is the x-intercept)
 ----------------
 y-x=x-y
 2y-2x=0
 y-x=0
 y=x
 If x=0, y=0 ( this is the x-intercept and the y-intercept)
 ----------
