Question

Which equation is a linear function? y = \frac{2}{x} + 3 y = \frac{x}{2} - 5 y = x^2 + 7 y = 2^x - 1

          Which equation is a linear function?
y = \frac{2}{x} + 3
y = \frac{x}{2} - 5
y = x^2 + 7
y = 2^x - 1

Which equation is a linear function?
y = (2)/(x) + 3
y = (x)/(2) - 5
y = x^2 + 7
y = 2^x - 1

Step 1

To determine which equation is a linear function, we need to check if it follows the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Let's analyze each equation: 1) v = x + 3 This equation is in the form y = mx + b, where y is replaced by v. The Show more…
