Question

What type of function is y-1 = 5x? Explain

Answer 1

The function given is:

`y-1=5x`

We can re-arrange it in the form:

`y=5x+1`

This takes the form:

`y=mx+b`

This is the equation of a line in the slope-intercept form where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept of the line (y-axis cutting point). This is a linear function.
