Answer:

These lines are linear lines.

Explanation:

Linear lines are straight lines. We can determine if a line is linear in one of a few ways, three being:

By looking at the lines. If they are straight, then they are linear.

By looking at a graph. If there is a constant rate of change within the graph (between the points), then the line is linear. A constant rate of change is when something is changing at a constant, or not-changing number. For example, if the rate of change is 3 (+3 or -3), and never any other number, then the line is linear.

By solving the equation. For a line to be linear, it has to be able to fit in the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) (without any exponents). If the equation does not work for the line, then the line is likely non-linear. A linear line may also have two expressions that are equal to each other. It's a little hard to see the entire second equation in the picture, but it appears to be 4x - 7. Meanwhile, the first equation is -2x + 5. Clearly, both lines are linear as they both fit in/follow the slope-intercept form. The m's are: -2 and 4, and the b's are 5 and -7.
