Is the following function linear?*
y= x2 – 4
Yes
No

No

Step-by-step explanation:

No.

A linear equation is an equation of a straight line, which means that the degree of a linear equation must be 0 or 1 for each of its variables. In this case, the degree of variable y is 1 and the degree of variable x is 2 . Not Linear

the image is given below

since the options are not given so we draw it from the equation

the given equation is

y = (x-1) (x+4)

y = y² + 3x - 4

the above equation is a quadratic equation which will have two roots. if we draw the graph for it, it will look like this
