Question

PLEASE HELP

which of the following equations represents a linear function?

x = 1
y equals one third times x squared
y equals one fourth times x minus 1
4x − 2 = 6

Answer 1

the third opinion:
`y = (1)/(4)x - 1` (or as you put it, y equals one fourth times x minus 1)

This is because it's written in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b . m is the slope, which is 1/4, and b is the y-intercept, -1
