Answer:

yes

Explanation:

Linear equations look like this

y=mx+b

where m is the slope

and b is the y intercept

if we switch -2x and the 3 we have the following

y= -2x+3

which looks like our y=mx+b

Answer:

It is Linear

Explanation:

We know the regular Linear equation is y = mx + b. In this case, the mx and the b switched places, but the equation still works the same way. y = -2x + 3
