Question

Determine whether the equation 2x + y = 8 is linear. If so, graph the function.

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, it is a linear equation. This equation is in y=mx+b form, which is a linear equation. To rearrange it into y=mx+b form, you'll just do y= -2x+8

To make a line, you only need two points, so here are two points that fit into the line of y= -2x+8:

(0,8) and (1,6)
