Answer: This is Linear

Explanation:

y=2x+5 is a linear function. In a linear function, the variable x has a power of 1, meaning it is raised to the first power. The general form of a linear function is y=mx+b, where m represents the slope of the line (the rate of change of y with respect to x), and b represents the y-intercept (the point where the line intersects the y-axis).

Tip: If the x is raised to the first power, most of the time it is linear
