Question

Is the function below linear or non linear? y = 5 + 3(x-4)​

Answer 1

Linear

Explanation:

The rule is that linear equations must have exponents of 1 (a sloped line) or 0 A verticle or horizontal line). This function can be simplified to

y = 3x - 12 + 5 = 3x - 7 which is the standard form of a linear equation

y - mx + b where m is the slope and m is the y intercept.
