Answer:

linear

Explanation:

For each increase of 1 in x, we decrease 2 in y

The slope is -2

It has a constant slope for all the points

There fore it is linear

We know the slope and the y intercept( when x=0, y =-3)

y = mx+b

y = -2x -3

We can check by picking a random point and verifying

(2,-7)

-7 = -2(2) -3

-7 = -4-3

-7=-7
