An equation that is linear:
1. When graphed, linear equations make a [straight] line (hence the name linear).
2. Have x exponents raised to the first power (in other words, if the x-value obtains exponents that are not 1 [Note: having 1 as an exponent is just like not having an exponent given that a number raised to the first power is still that number], it isn't linear)

Proportional relationships can be modeled in the form y = mx where m equals the slope, or constant rate of change.

It means an equation between two variables that gives a straight line when plotted on an graph.

What is the arc measure of \stackrel{\LARGE{\frown}}{AC}

algol [13]

Answer:

72°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the radius(r) of the circle is 10 units and the length of arc ABC is 16π

The length of arc ABC = $\frac{\theta}{360}*2\pi r$

Where θ is the central angle in degrees.

Since the length of arc ABC is 16π,

$16\pi=\frac{\theta}{360}*2\pi r\\16\pi=\frac{\theta}{360}*2\pi *10\\\theta=\frac{16\pi *360}{2 \pi *10} \\\theta=288^0$

The angle in a circle = 360°, therefore:

Central angle for arc AB (θ) = 360 - Central angle for arc ABC = 360 - 288 = 72°

Therefore the arc measure of arc AB is 72°
