Linear equations are equations of a straight line.

They are of the form;


y=mx+c

where m is the slope of the line and c is the intercept of the line.

Given the equation;


y=-4x

it could be compared to the equation of a straight line with slope of -4 and intercept zero.

Therefore, the given equation is a linear equation
