Question

Which statement best explains whether the equation y = 2x − 4 represents a linear or nonlinear function?

The equation represents a linear function because it has an independent and a dependent variable, each with an exponent of 1.
The equation represents a linear function because its graph contains the points (0, 2), (2, 3), and (4, 4), which are on a straight line.
The equation represents a nonlinear function because it has an independent and a dependent variable, each with an exponent of 1.
The equation represents a nonlinear function because its graph contains the points (0, 2), (2, 3), and (4, 4), which are not on a straight line.

Answer 1

Explanation:

answer A

Answer 2

Answer: The equation represents a linear function because it has an independent and a dependent variable, each with an exponent of 1.

Explanation:

The equation y = 2x - 4 is written in slope intercept form. y is dependent on the x.
