Answer 1

it’s a linear for sure

Answer 2

Linear.

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

• m - slope

• b - y-intercept

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

y = 5x + 3

Step 2: Compare

y = mx + b

y = 5x + 3

m = 5

b = 3

It is a linear function and is proportional.
