Question

Determine whether the equation 8x ^ 2 + y = 4 is linear. If so, graph the function. If not , explain why.

Answer 1

Given the equation :

`8x^2+y=4`

the graph of the function is as shown in the following image:

As shown the equation is not linear

Because the linear equation has a general form ax + by = c

Both of the powers of x and y is equal to one
