Question

Does the equation y = x(x - 3) represent a linear function

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

No. You can see why if you remove the brackets.

y=x^2 - 3x.

A linear function must have x and y with powers of 1. Also it can't something like x^2 - y^2 = 5

x^2 - y^2 = 0 is the only exception I can think of, but that really is a system of equations. If you graph it. you get two equations which cross at 0 and nowhere else.
