  • Can someone linearize this for me..

I can't seem to pull it out. I need to review for our quiz come tuesday, and sadly no one wants to help me >:[

y = x / (a + bx)

fit into the form y = mx + b.



I think i have to use ln's here, but whatever i do i can't seem to separate x from a and b.

help would be greatly appreciated.

so, is the answer to my question:

y = x / (a + bx)

y = 1 / ([a/x] + b)

1 / y = (a / x) + b <<<< is this the answer? i'm not sure

I only gives you hint ;)

You can try and plot and see how it turns.

Turned out to be a straight line, when i plotted 1/y vs. 1/x
