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).

How would you know if the equation is liner by just looking at the equation?

No powers also, no x times y i.e. xy = 1 is not linear


Is (-1-1) a solution to xy?

The expression (-1-1) simplifies to -2. To determine if (-2) is a solution to the equation xy, we need to know what the equation specifically is. If the equation is of the form xy = -2, then (-1, -1) is indeed a solution since (-1)(-1) equals 1, not -2. However, without a specific equation, we cannot definitively say if (-1-1) is a solution.


Is the equation 3x-4 equals 12 linear or non linear?

It is a linear equation. The highest power of x in the equation is 1 (3x1-4=12) so its "degree" is 1, and equations of "degree 1" are called linear equations.

What is the linear equation of x equals -4 and y equals -1 over 3?

A linear equation is the equation of a line and that consists of an infnite number of points. What you have, in x = -4 and y = -1/3, is a single point. A single point is not a line and so there cannot be a linear equation (suitable for a line) to represent a point.
