Question 177091
Yes, it is linear.  Standard form is *[tex \large Ax + By = C].  Just Add -8 to both sides to get *[tex \large x + 0y = -8 \text{ } \Rightarrow \text{ } x = -8]  This is a vertical line through the point *[tex \large (-8,0) ]


Unless you made an error when you typed the problem and you really meant *[tex \large x + 8y = 0]  in which case the equation is still linear, and it is already in standard form.
