For this case we have that by definition, a linear equation is of the form:

The variable (s) involved in the equation always have exponent 1.
Some examples of linear equations are:

Answer:
In a linear equation the variables have exponent 1.

Answer:
y = -x -2
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph has a slope of -1 and a y-intercept of -2.
The equation is therefore
y = -x -2
LCD would be 18
8/9 = 16/18
2/3 = 12/18
1/9 = 2/18
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 4x − 4 = 8
x² + 4x − 12 = 0
(x + 6) (x − 2) = 0
x = -6 or x = 2
