Question

State whether the given equation or function is linear. Write yes or no. Explain your reasoning. 5x4 + 5y = 9

Answer 1

The given equation is NOT linear.

Explanation:

5x^4+5y = 9

The given equation is NOT linear.

Reason:

A linear equation is defined as the equation for the straight line, where the degree of variables involved is always equal to 1.

But in the given equation :

Degree if x = 4

and degree of y = 1

As degree of x≠ 1 so, the given equation is not linear,
