You mean -1 = xy , right?

If we think of y against x, then it's like y = -1/x .... It's not linear.

But if we consider y against 1/x , it's linear....

no. its an exponential with a vertical zero axis


Is xy equals 1 a linear equation?

No because when you place x in terms of y, you get y = 1/x ( by dividing both the sides by x). This is not linear because the power of x is (-1) and for a linear relationship, you need the power of x to be (1).


What is the property for xy equals 1 xy?

That is the commutative property of equality.


If xy equals x or yx equals x what is y?

xy = x ÷x y = 1


Is 4 over x plus 3 over y equals 2 linear or nonliner?

Multiply through by xy to bring terms in x and y to the top, and you find an xy term popping up as well. So it's non--linear. On the other hand if you plot (1/y) vs (1/x) it is linear in terms of those particular variables


Is xy equals 6 a linear equation?

Yes. You can tell by the fact that both variables are raised to the first power.


If x equals -8 and xy equals 1 what does y equal?

So far you know that: x=-8 xy=1 so xy means x times y. If you split xy. y=1/x or y=1/-8 1/-8= -0.125 You can find out that this is correct with the formula xy=1 because -0.125 x -8 is 1.


If x equals -8 and xy equals 1 then what does y equal?

-1/8 -8*-1/8 = 1


Implicit differentiation of xy plus x equals 2?

It equals y+1


Find the coordinate of X if XY equals 1 and the coordinate of Y is 0?

If Y = 0 then there is no value of X such that XY = 1.


X plus XY equals 8 solve for Y?

x+xy=8 xy=-x+8 y=-1+8/x


If x equals 0 and y equals 1 what is the value of xy?

"xy" refers to the product of "x" and "y". Just substitute the variables for numbers, and do the multiplication.
