HelpmePlease:

How can you tell if a graph is a linear function?



Rom is right of course
but
do you mean how do you tell if an equation will be a straight line?

It will have no squared terms
It will have no x*y terms
It will have no x or y in the denominators.
so it might look like

y=3x+4
2x+3y=7
5x/4 - 6x = 13/3
0.2y = 12- 0.8x
y=15

but it won't look like
xy=8
3/x=y
6x-x 2=4

I hope that helps.
