The correct result would be equation 3: y = 5x - 1, because a linear function is a polynomial of degree one or zero. Therefore, equations 1, 2, and 4 can't be represented as a linear function, because they have the degree of 2 or more.

Answer:

Option -3 Equation 3 - [tex]y=5x-1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Equation 1 - [tex]y=2x^2+1[/tex]

Equation 2 - [tex]y^2=3x+1[/tex]

Equation 3 - [tex]y=5x-1[/tex]

Equation 4 - [tex]y=4x^4-1[/tex]

To find : Which equation represents a linear function?

Solution :

A linear function -  It is in the form [tex]y = f(x) = a + bx[/tex].

A linear function has one independent variable and one dependent variable.

A linear function is a polynomial of degree one or zero.

From the following equation only equation 3 is a linear function,because it has one independent variable -1 and one dependent variable y on x and a polynomial of degree 1.


Therefore, Equation 3 - [tex]y=5x-1[/tex] is a linear function.
