Exercise 9 Page 299

Isolate the y-variable.

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 isolate the y-variable.

2x+3y=7

SubEqn

LHS-2x=RHS-2x

2x+3y-2x=7-2x

▼

Solve for y

SubTerm

Subtract term

3y=7-2x

DivEqn

.LHS /3.=.RHS /3.

3y/3=7-2x/3
