Yes, y=x-4 is linear, since the highest power on x is 1 (y = x1-4)

What does non- linear function mean?

It means if you plot the function it is not on a straight line For example y = 3x + 4 is linear function y = x squared is non linear


Is y equals x - 4 a linear function?

Yes, since y changes proportionally with x.


What does linear functions mean?

A linear function is a function in which only the first power of the variables appears. A linear function is in the form of y=ax+b. When graphed, the graph is a straight line. 'a' is the slope of the line, 'b' is the value of 'y' where the line crosses the y-axis. For example: y=2x+4 is a linear function


Is y equals -x plus 2 a linear function?

Yes, y=-2+x is a linear function.


Help find the inverse for this linear function h x 3 4 x plus 1?

To find the inverse of the linear function ( h(x) = 3x + 4 ), we first replace ( h(x) ) with ( y ): ( y = 3x + 4 ). Next, we swap ( x ) and ( y ): ( x = 3y + 4 ). Solving for ( y ), we subtract 4 from both sides to get ( x - 4 = 3y ), and then divide by 3: ( y = \frac{x - 4}{3} ). Thus, the inverse function is ( h^{-1}(x) = \frac{x - 4}{3} ).


Is y x -4 a linear function Yes yx-4 is linear since the highest power on x is 1 (y x1-4)?

Only partly true. the highest power of y also needs to be 1 - which it is.


Is y equals x plus 4 a linear function and why?

Yes. y + x = 4 is a linear function because the highest order (exponent) on any dependent or independent variable is 1. So if it were y^2 + x = 4 or y + x^3 = 4 or yx + 4 = 0 or anything like that, it would be non-linear. If that doesn't help, if you rearrange y + x = 4 into standard y = mx + b format you get y = -x + 4. So it's a straight line with a slope of -1 and y-intercept of 4. Any time you have an equation that just has the letters in it (x, y, z, etc. any letter) without any exponents, it's a linear equation.


Do a linear equation and a function share the same definition?

No. A function need not be linear. For example, y = sin(x) is a function of x but it is not a linear equation.


What is nonlinear expression?

It can be thought of as a function that does not graph to a line when plotted. For example, y=4 or y=5x are linear. But y=x2 or y=x1/2 or y=ln(x) are not linear


The equation y-x is a parent linear function. Its parent function is...?

if you need to reflect a 2-d object on a graph over its parent linear function then do as follows: (x,y) --> (-y,-x) hope that helps


Is the inverse of a linear function not a function?

The inverse of a linear function is always a linear function. There are a few ways to approach this.To think about it, you can imagine flipping the x and y axes. Essentially this equates to turning the graph of the linear function on its side to reveal the new inverse function which is still a straight line.More rigorously, the linear function y = ax + b has the inverse equation x = (1/a)y - (b/a). This is a linear function in y.
