Question

Xy=.8is this equation linear or nonlinear

Answer 1

We have the following equation given:

xy=8

And we need to check if is linear or not. In order to be linear we need to satisfy this

equation:

y= mx+b

If we solve for x from our equation we got:

y= 8/x

And we can see that not satisfy the general equation y=mx+b so then this equation is not linear
