Question

Is this linear? explain your thinking

y= -2/x​

Answer 1

Not Linear

Explanation:

A linear equation is an equation of a straight line, which means that the degree of a linear equation must be

0

or

1

for each of its variables. In this case, the degree of variable

y is 1, the degrees of the variables in the equation violate the linear equation definition, which means that the equation is not a linear equation.
