Question

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

Answer 1

ANSWER

Yes

EXPLANATION

The given relation is

2x-5y=-15

We solve for y to obtain:

-5y=-2x-15

Divide through by -5.

$y = \frac{2}{5}x + 3$

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.
