Exercise 4 Page 296

Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form.

Linear, see solution.

Practice makes perfect
Without graphing, we want to determine whether the given equation represents a linear or nonlinear function. To do so, we will rewrite the equation.

y=4x/3 ⇔ y=4/3x+0 The equation can be written in slope-intercept form. Therefore, its graph is a straight line. This means that the function is linear.
