Question

Does 2x-5y=-15 represent a linear relationship? please explain ​

Answer 1

Yes

Step-by-step explanation

The given relation is

2x-5y=-15

We solve for y to obtain:

-5y=-2x-15

Divide through by -5.

`y = (2)/(5)x + 3`

This is linear relation.

There is a positive linear relationship between the two variables x and y.

Also we can see that the highest degree of the variables is unity.

Hence it represents a linear relationship between x and y.
