Final answer:

The graphed linear equation is option A) y - 2/5x - 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graphed linear equation is option A) y - 2/5x - 5.

A linear equation is an equation where the highest power of the variable is 1. The equation y = -3x, y = 0.2 +0.74x, and y=-9.4 - 2x are all linear equations because the variable 'x' has exponent 1.

Therefore, options A, B, and C are all linear equations.

In option A, the equation y - (2/5)x - 5 is in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope is -2/5, which means that for every 1 unit increase in x, y decreases by 2/5 units.

The y-intercept is -5, which means that the line crosses the y-axis at the point (0, -5).
