Answer

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

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\frac{x}{4}+\frac{y}{12}=1$. $\implies y=12(1-\frac{x}{4})$ Or $y=-3x+12$ All linear functions can be represented by the equations of the form $y=mx+b$. The given equation represents a linear function as it can be rewritten in the form $y=mx+b$.
