Examples:
Reduce each of the following equations to the linear form. Hence, state the gradient and the Y-intercept of the linear equations in terms of a and b.
(a) y=ax3+bx2
(b) y=ax+bx
(c) y=ax−bx2
(d) xy=px+qx
(e) y=a√x+b√x
(f) ay=bx+1
[Note :
X and Y cannot have constant, but can have the variables (for example x and y)
m and c can only have the constant (for example a and b), cannot have the variables x and y]
