Is this equation linear: 2x+5xy-3=0

What is linear equation?

An equation between two variables that gives a straight line when plotted on a graph.

2x + 5xy - 3 = 0

x (2 + 5y) -3 = 0

x ( 2 + 5y ) = 3

2 + 5y = 3 / x

5y = (3/x) - 2

y = ( (3/x) - 2) / 5

According to the graph i don't think it's a linear equation.

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
