Y = mx + b
No exponent on the x variable is one very telling sign that this is a line.
You know if an equation is linear if it is a straight line. You can also know if the equation is y = mx + b where there are no absolute values nor exponents.
On a graph ' A linear Equation produces a Straight line A Quadratic Eq'n produces a Curved line.
Linear means referring to a line, so a line must be linear! Every point on any line is a solution to the equation that defines the line.
Linear is a straight line and non linear could be a curve or anything but a straight line
Linear = Straight line! So, a graph of a linear relationship is a straight line.
It is in a strait line.
When 'x' or 'y' are NOT raised to any power. e.g. y = mx + c linear y - c = mx linear x = ( y - c) /m linear. However. y = x^(2) or y = x^(3) or y = x^(n a number greater than '1') are not not linear. or y^(2) = ax + c is not linear.
You know if an equation is linear if it is a straight line. You can also know if the equation is y = mx + b where there are no absolute values nor exponents.
The term "linear line" is redundant; lines are necessarily linear, since linear means in the form of a line.
A linear line is a straight line
A line is linear.
No, "linear" means in a straight line.
Linear means referring to a line, so a line must be linear! Every point on any line is a solution to the equation that defines the line.
You can decide from a graph wheter a ralationship is linear or non linear if the line is staight is linear but if the line is not straight is not linear.
-- The graph of a linear equation is a straight line. -- Any two points on a straight line are enough to completely specify the line, that is, to uniquely identify the line and tell you everything there is to know about it.
