Can linear equations have fractions as constants? - Answers

Yes. A fraction is still a number after all. Application: say you have y=(1/2)x+6, the slope is 1/2 so you start at 6 on the y-axis and go up one and over 2 and you have your next point (x=1). It's the same thing as saying the value of x is being divided by 2. If you can multiply x by a number, why can't you divide? a more complex one would be y=(3/4)x+9 in which case, you're both multiplying and dividing. You're multiplying x by 3 and dividing that by 4.
