Best Answer

a and b are constants (and c is too). You can substitute any set of three real numbers for these letters, and you will still have an equation for a line. However, different values will result in different slopes and positions for the line. In fact, the values of a, b, and c are what determine the shape of the line.

3s equals 2t is this a linear equation or nonlinear?

3s=2t can also be written as 3y=2x or 3x=2y. Either way, it is linear. To find out if it is linear, simply graph it. If you can draw a completely vertical line through any point of the graph without intersecting more than one point of the graph, then it is linear. This equation (3s=2t), it is linear.

What is the line to y equals 2x?

y=2x means that the line on the graph will travel through the coordinates (0,0) (2,1) (4,2) (6,3) etc. Basically it will go up 2x's for every 1y.y=2x is a linear function.
