To find out if it's a linear equation, you would solve it so that it becomes the

y=mx+b formula.

So, you would subtract 2x from both side than divide it by 4.

It would then look like y=-1/2x+4. This shows that since 2x+4y=16 can be put into the y=mx+b formula, it is a linear equation.

So, the answer is yes.
