Hello there!

First, we need to know when do we have a linear equation.

<span>"A linear equation is an equation between two variables that gives a straight line when plotted on a graph."

I am honestly not good with graphing these kind of equation, so I usually used an online graphing to help me.

Remember we have a linear equation when we have straight line.

Graph the first equation(see picture 1) Y = 4/x + 3
Answer: No, it is not a linear equation. As you can see the lines are not straight. Got it? I hope so :)

P.S Unfortunately, I am not sure what is happening but I can load the pictures of the graph. So here is the link to the graph for the first equation.

Now let's work with the second equation y = -2x - 4

Answer: Yes it is a linear equation. Why? Because the line is straight. See this link for the graph.

I tried my best, I hope you understand and if you have questions, just let me know.

As always, I am glad to be your helper!

atroni [7]

Answer: The expression will be $\frac{50+12x}{x}$

Step-by-step explanation: Frank has to pay $50 as the registration fee. This amount is compulsory to be paid

Step 1: Dues for $12 months

Let the due to be paid every month be $x, so dues to be paid for 12 months will be 12x

Step 2: Expression for the average monthly cost for x-month will be

Expression: $\frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total months}}$

Total cost = 50 + 12x

Expression: $\frac{50+12x}{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

B. Yes, we are 99% confident that the population mean is within the interval.

C. Yes, 225 is below the interval minimum, so it is reasonable to conclude the average cholesterol level is greater than 225 mg/dl.

D. No. Increasing the sample size would decrease the margin of error, so the ends of the interval would move closer to the sample mean of 251.9. So the interval minimum would still be higher than 225.
