Is the following an example of a linear equation?

   y = 0. 125 3 . 5 x

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

To Check:

Whether y = -0.125 − 3.5x equation is linear or not.

Answer to Problem 12.1TI

Yes, the given equation is a linear equation.

Explanation of Solution

Interpretation:

Linear equation refers to the equation which gives a straight line graph when we put the values, also the highest exponent power of the variable must be equal to one. In this equation the power of variable x and y is 1, which shows that this equation is a linear equation and the graph of this equation will be:

You are planning an experiment to determine the effect of the brand of gasoline and the weight of a car on gas mileage measured in miles per gallon. You will use a single test car, adding weights so that its total weight is 3000, 3500, or 4000 pounds. The car will drive on a test track at each weight using each of Amoco, Marathon, and Speedway gasoline. Which is the best way to organize the study? Start with 3000 pounds and Amoco and run the car on the test track. Then do 3500 and 4000 pounds. Change to Marathon and go through the three weights in order. Then change to Speedway and do the three weights in order once more. Start with 3000 pounds and Amoco and run the car on the test track. Then change to Marathon and then to Speedway without changing the weight. Then add weights to get 3500 pounds and go through the three gasolines in the same order.Then change to 4000 pounds and do the three gasolines in order again. Choose a gasoline at random, and run the car with this gasoline at…
AP1.2 A child is 40 inches tall, which places her at the 90th percentile of all children of similar age.
