Linear because it’s in y=mx+b form
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
refer to solution in picture
Area=side^2
if we say area=y and side=x
y=x^2
an euation is linear if the highest power of the variables is 1
y^1=x^2
2≠1
it is not linear (it's quadratic, fancy term for 2nd degree)
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
note that 4096 =
, then
= 
Since bases on both sides are equal, both 8 , then equate the exponents
2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 2
Answer:
-1 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 - (1 1/2)
Get a common denominator
1/4 - 1 2/4
Take the larger number and subtract the smaller number and take the sign of the larger
1 2/4 - 1/4 = 1 1/4
The sign of the larger was negative
-1 1/4
