Question

State whether the given equation or function is linear. Write yes or no. Explain your reasoning.

5x^4 + 5y = 9
Yes, the equation is in linear form. It is in the form xy = C.

Yes, the equation is linear. 0

No, the equation is not linear. It is not in the form Ax + By = C.

No, the equation is not linear. It is in the form x + y = c.

Answer 1

Option C is correct.

Explanation:

The given equation or function is linear if the variables x and y have degree zero or 1.

The given equation is 5x^4+5y =9

here x has degree =4 and y has degree = 1, but for linear equation both x and y variables must have degree zero or 1.

So, Option C is correct.
