Question

Determine whether the equation is a linear equation. If so, write the equation in standard form.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of a linear equation is given by :

y = mx +b

Where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

(a) y = 2x - 3

It is in the form of a linear equation.

Standard form, y =2x+(-3)

(b) The equation is 4x = 2y

or

2y = 4x

y = 2x + 0

It is in the form of a linear equation with slope of 2 and y-intercept of 0.
