I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. The function given as y=3x-5 is a linear function where y varies directly with x. Linear functions are those whose graph is a straight line. A linear function has the following form. y = f(x) = a + bx.
Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
