Question

Which of the following best describes the equation below?

y = x/4 + 15^2

A. nonlinear

B. both linear and nonlinear

C. neither linear nor nonlinear

D. linear

Answer 1

D. linear

Explanation:

`y = (x)/(4) +15^(2)`

`=(x)/(4) +225`

Multiply both sides by 4.

4y = x + 900

x - 4y + 900 = 0

which is linear in x and y.
