The relationship between X and Y is linear only if it is of a form: Y=mX+b, or Y=(m/X)+b If they are related in other forms, such as: Y=X2, or Y=nX5+mX3+b, or Y= SQRT(X), or Y= COS (X), or many other relationships, it is not linear. * * * * * Nearly correct. Y=(m/X)+b is not a linear relationship but a [translated] inverse relationship. The curve of the graph is a hyperbola, not a straight line.
It is linear.
Yes, but not at the level of mathematics you are at. In elementary statistics, the line of best fit (if it exists) is always a straight line representing a linear relationship between two variables. The equation of the line is most often calculated using the least squares method. [This minimises the sum of the squares of the vertical differences between the values "predicted" by the line and those actually recorded. The process always leads to a straight line. However, in more advanced statistics, you will learn about transformations. If the relationship between two variables, X and Y, is an inverse relationship, then the relationship between 1/X and Y is linear and you can fit a linear best fit line to the data set given by 1/X and Y. This can then be used to calculate the best fit inverse curve.

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.
The relation is an inverse one , but not in a linear way.
inverse linear or quadratic
x = constant.
Well, it's a non-linear relationship. It could be inverse, or quadratic, or many other things.
no ,horizontal line is a linear relationship
It means that there is no linear relationship between the argument of the function, x, and the functional value, f(x) or y.
because it is a methodical answer and that is why i am asking you

Direct relationship: When two quantities increase or decrease together. Inverse relationship: When one quantity increases while the other decreases. Linear relationship: When the relationship between the quantities can be represented by a straight line. Nonlinear relationship: When the relationship between the quantities cannot be represented by a straight line.
its a liner function but negitive
