no, linear equations cannot involve products of variables (assuming both x and y are variables here)

2xy=6
y = 6/2x = 3/x
When x = 0, y = f(x) is discontinuous.
A linear equation is never discontinuous, therefore y = 3/x is not linear.
The graph of the equation looks like a hyperbola.

It's not linear and here's why:
y=6/2x
y=3/x
I hope this helps!

Rearrange and you get y=3/x. This equation is of an inverse, not a linear.

2xy=6
y= 6/(2x)
the function is not a linear.

no its a 2 degree equation because of xy together.... that makes it non-linear

not linear. Can't have two variables multiplied together (xy)

yes the function is linear because the x is to the power of one. trust me on this
