Determine if Linear y=(4x-2)/12

$y = \frac{4 x - 2}{12}$

Cancel the common factor of $4 x - 2$ and $12$ .

Factor $2$ out of $4 x$ .

$y = \frac{2 (2 x) - 2}{12}$

Factor $2$ out of $- 2$ .

$y = \frac{2 (2 x) + 2 (- 1)}{12}$

Factor $2$ out of $2 (2 x) + 2 (- 1)$ .

$y = \frac{2 (2 x - 1)}{12}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $12$ .

$y = \frac{2 (2 x - 1)}{2 (6)}$

Cancel the common factor.

$y = \frac{2 (2 x - 1)}{2 \cdot 6}$

Rewrite the expression.

$y = \frac{2 x - 1}{6}$

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 $1$ .
