and plz explain y it is.
h(x) = 1.1 - 2x

Yes, because all of the variables (in this case, it's only x) are raised to the power of 1 -- that makes it linear

I might be wrong! But I believe that this equation is linear. Any linear equation has the form of y = mx+b. In this equation, h(x) equals "y", whatever the numbers may be. The numbers 1.1 would be "b", 2 would be "m", and x is "x". Therefore, I believe this equation to be linear.

It looks as if it were an equation in which a coordinate (h) is defined by a variable and a number. Linear equations are characterized by
having variables, in this case x , expressed in the first power. That makes it a linear equation.

i think so cuz it can be written in the form y=mx+b its just not put in orderinstead its in y=b+mx but hey im only in geometry i did pass algabra 1 by any chance r u a student in maryland just a guess not a stalker calm down its just that i dont know any other states that have algbra 2 trig at the same time but look up my answer i think its right

Yes, you could think of this as the line y = -2x + 1.1, with slope -2 and y-intercept (0,1.1).

yes cuz it is a line and if you do the verticle line test no 2 points are on the same line

y=mx=b
y=-2x+1.1
thus, yes, this is linear

yes, rewrite it in y=mx+b and it works so ya.
