Chapter 9, Problem 65SGR

To determine

To find: given equation is linear equation or non linear equation.

Answer to Problem 65SGR

Given equation is linear equation.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  $y=\frac{3}{4}x$

Concept Used:

The slope intercept form equation is

  $y=mx+b$

Where;

Slope: $m$

Y-intercept: $\left(0,b\right)$

Calculation:

Given equation is $y=\frac{3}{4}x$ .

When comparing with slope intercept form equation, $y=mx+b$

$m=\frac{3}{4}$ , $b=0$

Slope $=\frac{3}{4}$

$y$ - intercept $=0$

From the above values graph is,

So graph illustrate straight line which means given equation is linear equation.

Conclusion:

Hence, given equation is linear equation.
