Question

The two equations shown below represent different functions.function P: y = 3/x + 2function Q: y = 1/3 x + 2identify each function as a linear or nonlinear. state a reason why each function is linear or nonlinear

Answer 1

Note: all linear function can be written in the form y = mx + c

function P: y = 3/x + 2 is nonlinear function because it cannot be written in the form y = mx + c

function Q: y = 1/3 x + 2 is a linear function because it can be written in the form y = mx + c
