Given:

2x = 4y

Determine if the given equation is linear.

Solution:

To determine if the given equation is linear, we must first solve for y. To do so, we divide 4 on both sides of the equation to cancel out 4y, leaving behind y.

4y = 2x

4y/4 = 2x/4

y = ½x

The graph of the equation illustrates a linear function since it has a degree of 1.

Final answer:

Linear equation
