Explain why the equation is not linear. 5/x - y = 1

A. x Should be an exponent.

B. The x variable appears in the denominator.

C. The coefficient of both variables must be equal.

D. There should be an exponent of 2 on either x or y.​

B. The x variable appears in the denominator.

Step-by-step explanation:

What makes it not linear

First, make y the subject

A linear equation is represented as:

Notice that the exponent of x in the general form is: 1

This means that x has to appear as a numerator

In , the exponent of x is -1

This means that x has to appear as a denominator

Hence, (b) is true

the 2 figures are congruent bc if you reflect abcd over the y axis then over the d axis the figures overlap

so, converting firstly the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then "adding".
