To classify the given equations as linear or nonlinear, we can analyze each one.
-
Equation: \(3x - 4y = 27\)
- This is a linear equation because it can be rewritten in the slope-intercept form \(y = mx + b\). Rearranging gives: \[ 4y = 3x - 27 \implies y = \frac{3}{4}x - \frac{27}{4} \]
- Classification: Linear
-
Equation: \(3x^2 - 2x = 4y\)
- This equation contains a term with \(x^2\), which makes it nonlinear. Rearranging gives: \[ 4y = 3x^2 - 2x \implies y = \frac{3}{4}x^2 - \frac{1}{2}x \]
- Classification: Nonlinear
Summary
- Linear: \(3x - 4y = 27\)
- Nonlinear: \(3x^2 - 2x = 4y\)
