For this case we have the following function:
By definition, we have that a linear equation is of the form
On the other hand, a quadratic equation is of the form
Then, the given equation is not a linear equation, it is not of the form
Answer:
No, the equation is not linear. It is not of the form
Let f(x) = y.
y = 4x - 12
Let x = 0
y = 4(0) - 12
y = - 12
This leads to the point (0, -12).
Let y = 0.
0 = 4x - 12
1 2 = 4x
12/4 = x
3 = x
This leads to the point (3, 0).
We now graph both points and then connect each point with a straight line.
