If you mean y = 2^x, then no, it is not a linear equation. This is an exponential equation. The graph of this exponential equation would start out near zero on the left-hand side (there is a horizontal asymptote at y = 0) and would gradually increase as you move to the right: overall, it has a curved shaped.
If you mean y = 2x, then yes, it is a linear equation.

Is this equation linear or nolinear a 2 over b 8?
there's no equals sign so it's not an equation, it's an expression. i assume you mean (a^2)/(b^8) in which case it's a non-linear expression in both a and b. "linear in x" means the highest power of x in the expression is 1. this means there is no x^2 or x^8 etc. 2x + 4 is linear because the highest power of x is 1 2(x^3) + 4x + 7 is nonlinear because the highest power of x is 3
Is y equals x squared 2 plus 5 linear?
No, to be linear, both the power of x and y need to be 1. Since x is squared, the power of x is 2.
What is the answer to -9x-7y equals -2?
There are infinitely many solutions. One linear equation in two variables cannot be solved to give a single answer.
What is 2a - 7b divided by 3 equals 9?
Since this is a linear equation with 2 variables, it is an unsolvable equation as a and b could be anything, to find an exact answer you need another equation that relates to the first one.
How many solutions does the equation 14x plus 2 equals 12x have?
That looks like a linear equation (no quadratic or higher terms), so you can expect it to have a single solution. However, actually solving the equation is not difficult; do it, to confirm this.
Is y equals 5x2 plus 2 a linear equation?
Assuming that the 2 in "5x2" is a power (5x2), then no, this is not a linear equation. It is a parabolic equation.
Is this equation linear or nonlinear Y equals -3x -2?
-1
What is y equals 5x plus 2 a linear or quadratic?
It is the linear equation of a straight line.
Is y equals x-2 a linear equations or not?
Yes, since y = x - 2 has the degree of 1 [or the highest exponent of the equation], x - 2 is the linear equation.
Is the equation y equals -5x divided by 2 linear or nonlinear?
All equations for which the greatest power of its variable is 1, and that have no absolute value signs surrounding the variable, is linear. Therefore, yes, your problem is linear.
How do you make x-3 equals 2 a two linear equation?
Good news! You don't have to do anything. [ x-3 = 2 ] is already a linear equation, and x=5 .
Is y equals x minus 2 a nonlinear equation?
No, y=x-2 is linear.
Is y equals x2 plus 2 a linear equation?
No, y=x^2 + 2 is a quadratic equation. A linear equation is one in the form y=mx+b. A quadratic has a form y=ax^2+bx+c.
Is 5x plus 6y equals 3x plus 2 a linear equation?
yes it is!
Is c equals ab to the second power a equation or expression?
It is an equation ... Anything with an equals is an equation 2+b=6 Anything without an equals is an expression 2+a
What is -3x-5y equals 21?
It is a linear equation in two dimensional space. Such an equation defines a line in 2-d
What is 2x-3y equals -2?
This is an equation of a line. There are an infinite number of solutions which are all points on the line. It is a linear equation.
