Answer:


\huge\boxed{\sf{Linear}}

Explanation:

Hello.

This function is linear.

Remember, linear functions look like so:

y=mx+b (where m = slope & b = y-intercept)

Is y=3x+2 linear? Sure!

Compare:

y=mx+b

y=3x+2

They look the same, huh? The only difference is that the first one has variables, and the second one has numbers. ;)

Now, what about the graph?

All linear functions have a graph that looks like a straight line.

I hope it helps.

Have a great day.
