How can you tell by looking only at the equation of a function with no graph that it is nonlinear?
To be linear, there should only be constants, and variables with constant coefficients. No powers of variables, or numbers raised to the power of a variable, or any other nonlinear function such as log, ln, sin, cos, tan, cosh, etc.
How can you tell by looking at the graph of a function that it is nonlinear?
A linear function would be represented by a straight line graph, so if it's not a straight line, it's nonlinear
Can you tell how a quadratic equation can become linear equation?
You can easily tell by substituting 0 for a.
How can you tell that an equation has the same solution as the original equation?
If the two equations are linear transformations of one another they have the same solution.
How can you tell a linear function from an equation?
An equation is a statement that two things are equal. A function is a rule or process that gives you a value if you give it something in its domain (the set of things on which it is defined) as an argument. Functions on numbers that are defined by a rule can usually be expressed by an equation. A linear function is one that can be defined by a linear equation.

How can the degree of the equation tell us if the equation is linear or not?
A linear equation always has a degree of one because the slope has to be constant to form a line. So, x + 7 is linear, 7 - x is linear, 4x - 3.7 is linear, but anything with x2 , etc. is not linear.
Is 4x2x a linear equation?
Difficult to tell because of problems with the browser. 4x = 2x IS a linear equation whose solution is x = 0
If the ordered pair (3-2) satisfies one of the two linear equations in a system how can you tell whether the point satisfies the other equation of the system?
Substitute the values for the two variables in the second equation. If the resulting equation is true then the point satisfies the second equation and if not, it does not.
How can you tell if an equation is a linear relationship?
If it is in a y=mx+b format. Also, if there is a slope and a constant in the equation.

If the two equations are linear transformations of one another they have the same solution.

How do you tell if an eqution is a linear equation?
An equation (note spelling) is linear if it is made up exclusively of constants and of unknowns raised to the first power (e.g., 'z', as opposed to 'z^2')
How can you tell if an equation has at most one solution without solving it?
You can be certain if the equation is linear, that is, of the form ax + b = 0 where a and b are constants.
How can you tell if a graph is a linear function?
The word linear means in a straight line. If the graph is a line, it is linear. Also, linear equations are of the first order; they contain a variable but not a square (or higher power) of a variable. If the equation contains x2 it is not linear.
