Answer:

The equation
y = 4 \cdot x does not belong to the set.

Explanation:

The set represent a group of linear equations in explicit form with non-zero coefficients. Hence, the equation
y = 4 \cdot x does not belong to the set.

Answer:

y = -2x+4

Explanation:

The third linear equation doesn't belong with the others, beacuse it has a negative slope.

The common characteristic between functions is that all of them have a positive slope (coefficient of the independent variable) except for the third function, which has a negative slope.

Therefore, the right answer is C.
