Question

Is .8x+1.5y=-6 a linear function?

Answer 1

yes

Explanation:

`0.8 x= 1.5y = -6\\0.8x + 6 = 1.5y\\(0.8)/(1.5)x + (6)/(1.5) = y\\\\y = (8)/(15)x + (60)/(15)\\\\y = (8)/(15)x + 4`

Therefore y is an equation of a line with slope 8/15 and y - intercept = 4

Answer 2

Yes, it is a linear function

Explanation:

The given equation, .8x + 1.5y = -6, is a linear function.

It is in the format of the linear equation Ax + By = C.

In this equation, 0.8 is A, 1.5 is B, and -6 is C.

So, it is a linear function.
