Determine if each function is linear or nonlinear.



Drag each function into a box to correctly classify it.



y = 2x^3

y = x + 5

y = x^2 -3

5x + 5y = 25

y = x^2/2

Equation B, D are linear. Rest are not.
The first one is cubic. The third and fifth are quadratic.

ANSWER

The linear functions are,

y = x + 5
and


5x + 5y = 25

Step-by-step explanation

All linear functions can be written in the form

y = mx + c

or


ay + bx + c = 0.

From the given options the two functions that are of these forms are


y = x + 5

and


5x + 5y = 25

The remaining ones are non linear because their highest degree is not 1.

Moreover, their graphs are not straight lines, meanwhile the graph of all linear functions are straight lines.
