\text{The given equation is linear}

Linear equations are of the form;


y\text{ = mx + b}

where we have it that the highest power of tha variables is 1

We can re-write the given equation to look like


y\text{ = -5x-35}

Thus, we have it in the form of the linear equation

Thus, we can conclude that the equation is linear
