To determine if the given equation is a linear equation, let's first see if we can rewrite it in standard form.
Ax+ By= C
In this form, A, B, and C are constants and either A or B must be nonzero. Below we have highlighted how it corresponds to the general standard form.
y=4 ⇔ 0x+ 1y= 4
When written this way, we can see that A= 0, B= 1, and C= 4. Since this equation can be written in standard form, it is linear.
