Question

Two equations are shown Equation A:y=-5x-3, Equation B: y=4x+5 Which statement best compares the graphs of the two equations.

Both are linear
Both are non linear
Equation A is nonlinear and equation B is linear
Equation A is linear and equation B is nonlinear

Answer 1

Both are linear

Explanation:

Each equation contains the variables x and y to the first power. Also, there are no products of variables. In addition, each equation is in the form y = mx + b which is the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line. Therefore, both are linear equations.
