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>

<em><u>Hop</u></em><em><u>e</u></em><em><u> it</u></em><em><u> helps</u></em><em><u>.</u></em><em><u>.</u></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.

Quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle. BD = 6x - 14 and AC = 8x - 20. What is BD?
BigorU [14]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals are equal length:

6x - 14 = 8x - 20\\-2x = -6\\x = 3

BD = 6x - 14\\BD = 6 * 3 - 14\\BD = 18 - 14\\BD = 4

Which line has the same slope as the line passing through (- 4, -1) and (-1, 8)
Troyanec [42]

The slope is [ 8 - (-1) ] / [ -1 - (-4) ] = 9 / 3 = 3;

The line has the equation: y - 8 = 3( x + 1);

y - 8 = 3x + 3;

y = 3x + 11.
