Question

Y=-5(x+7) linear or nonlinear

Answer 1

Linear equations are of the form;

where we have it that the highest power of tha variables is 1

We can re-write the given equation to look like

Thus, we have it in the form of the linear equation

Thus, we can conclude that the equation is linear

Answer 2

`\text{The given equation is linear}`

Linear equations are of the form;

`y\text{ = mx + b}`

where we have it that the highest power of tha variables is 1

We can re-write the given equation to look like

`y\text{ = -5x-35}`

Thus, we have it in the form of the linear equation

Thus, we can conclude that the equation is linear
