Answer:
4y = (1/2)^x -5
Explanation:
The first three equations are lines. All the variables have a power of just one (power of one is a math number that is not written) They are actually all written in slope-intercept form even. Line equations are linear function. Yay the words match!
You get a curve (not linear) when you have exponents, square roots or variables in the denominator of a fraction. Or as here, a variable for an exponent!
