Question

Identify one linear equation and one nonlinear equation, and state why it is linear or nonlinear. Thanks

Answer 1

Equation (2) y = 2x - 5 is linear equation.

Equation with the highest power of x = 1 is a linear equation.

It is linear because it forms a straight line.

Equation (3) y = x² + 6 is not a linear equation.

Equation with the highest power of x = 2 is a curve, specifically a parabola curve.

It is not a linear equation because it is a curve.
