Chapter 12: Q.12.2 (page 681)

Is the following an example of a linear equation? Why or why not?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The given figure (or graph) is not an example of linear equation because the graph is curved and not a straight line.

Step by step solution

01

Given information 

Given in the question that, We need to find that whether the following is an example of linear equation.

02

Explanation 

The linear equation has the below form:

y=a+bx

Here,

a-the y-intercept

b-the slope

The variable yis the dependent variable andxis an independent variable.

It is known in general that the graph of the above linear equation is a straight line. The referred figure (or graph) is not an example of linear equation because the graph is curved and not a straight line.
