Is y equals x-2 a linear equations or not?
Yes, since y = x - 2 has the degree of 1 [or the highest exponent of the equation], x - 2 is the linear equation.
Why is the exponent of a variable a determining factor in whether an equation is linear?
Because that is how a linear equation is defined!
What is the highest exponent of the leading variable in a quadratic equation?
the highest exponent of quadratic equation is 2 good luck on NovaNet peoples
Can a linear equation have a variable to the first power?
Any variable in a linear equation is to the first power.The exponent is normally not written.
What is a quadratic eqation?
A quadratic equation is an equation where the highest exponent on the variable is 2. For example, the equation, y=2x2+3x-2 is a quadratic equation. The equation y=2x is not quadratic because the highest exponent on x is 1. (If there is no exponent on an x, then the exponent is 1.) The equation, y=x3+3x2-2 is not quadratic because the highest exponent is three. On a graph, a quadratic equation looks like a U or and upside down U. Here are some more example of quadratic equations: y=x2 y=3x2+2x-3 y=x2+5
What is the highest exponent of the leading variable in a linear equation?
1
Can an equation be linear if there is an exponent?
yes it can if the exponent is 1.

What are two ways to determine if an equation is linear?
All the variables that appear in it have the exponent 1. If you plot the equation, it is a straight line.
How do you figure out if an equation is a linear equation?
An equation is linear if the highest power of the unknown in the equation is 1for example an equation with just a variable to the power one such as x, y and so on is linear but one with x2, y2 and above is not linear
What is the standard from of a linear equation?
A linear equation is that equation in which a variable or variables has exponent equal to 1. For example, standard form of linear equation in one variable: a1x + a2x +.......+ anx = c Standard form of a linear equation : a1x + a2x +.........+ anx = c e.g. 4x + 3 =6, 3x + 6y + 5z = 2 etc.
