Y= -3x with steps please. It’s asking weather it’s a linear equation or not.

This is a linear equation. since there is no exponent on the x, x is just to the power of 1. anything to the power of 1 is considered a linear equation. you could also do the vertical line test and find that when you plug any number in for x, none of the final answers will repeat each other. i hope this makes sense and that this helps!!
