Answer:

C) 7=y=5x+11

B) m=-4/5, b=13/5

Explanation:

Problem 1:

A function is linear if its slope is constant and/or its graph is straight (that means 1-degree polynomials only). Therefore, C is the only correct answer.

Problem 2:

Convert to slope-intercept form (y=mx+b):

4x+5y=13

5y=13-4x

y=13/5-4/5x

y=-4/5x+13/5

Now we can see that since the original equation is in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), the slope, m, is -4/5, and the y-intercept, b, is 13/5, making option B the correct answer.
