Answer:

y=15x+10

Explanation:

This equation is in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) which signifies a linear function. Also, linear functions include x to the first degree and no larger. Anything larger than that would be a polynomial.

It is not x=-5 because that would be a straight vertical line.

It is not the second or third equations because x is being raised to the 4th and 2nd powers resulting in polynomial functions.
