Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Reason:

  • <em>The </em><em>power</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>term</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>one</em><em>.</em>
  • <em>It</em><em> </em><em>can</em><em> </em><em>be</em><em> </em><em>graphed</em><em> </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>at.</em><em> </em><em>line</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>graph</em><em>.</em>

<em>Yo</em><em>u</em><em> </em><em>can</em><em> </em><em>simpl</em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>defi</em><em>ne</em><em> </em><em>linear</em><em> </em><em>eq</em><em>uation</em><em> </em><em>as</em><em> </em><em>the </em><em>eq</em><em>uation</em><em> </em><em>which</em><em> </em><em>has</em><em> </em><em>two</em><em> </em><em>vari</em><em>ables</em><em> </em><em>with</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em> </em><em>exponent</em><em>.</em>

<em>So</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>you</em><em> </em><em>can</em><em> </em><em>graph</em><em> </em><em>out</em><em> </em><em>that </em><em>why</em><em> </em><em>it</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>called</em><em> </em><em>linear</em><em> </em><em>equation</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>It</em><em> </em><em>have</em><em> </em><em>tw</em><em>o</em><em> variables</em><em> with</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em> </em><em>exponent</em><em>.</em>

Answer:

Y=mx+b Is a linear equasion because if you plot the x and y on a graph it always shows a straight line.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, y=7x+9,

When x is 1 y is 16, and

when x is 2 y is 23.

When you put those two points on a graph and connect the dots with a ruler, you get a straight line, and you will automatically find that when x is 3 y is 30.

There were 100 questions on a math test. If Jamal got 4 times as many right as he got wrong, what was Jamals score?
IgorLugansk [536]

Jamal's score is 80

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Number of questions = 100

Let w be the number of wrong answers

Let r be the number of right answers

According to question,

r = 4w

r + w = 100

Solving both the equations we get:

4w + w = 100

5w = 100

w = 20

If w = 20 then r = 4 X 20 = 80

Therefore, Jamal's score is 80
