explain whether each equation is a linear equation.

Answer:
3. Not linear
4. Linear
Step-by-step explanation:
3. The equation has an exponent on the x. Since x is squared the graph is a parabola. The graph is a curve, not a line, so it is not linear.
4. Both the x and y have no exponent (which is an exponent of 1) The graph will be a line. This is a linear function.
