Answer

The given equation represents a linear function as it can be rewritten in the form $y=mx+b$.

Work Step by Step

$2+\frac{1}{6}y=3x+4$ Subtracting $2$ from both sides, we get $2+ \frac{1}{6}y-2=3x+4-2$ $\implies \frac{1}{6}y=3x+2$ Multiply both sides by $6$ to get $y=18x+12$ We can rewrite the given equation $2+\frac{1}{6}y=3x+4$ as $y=18x+12$ which is in the form $y=mx+b$. So, the given equation represents a linear function.
