Is the function linear or nonlinear? y = 3x - 5 a. linear b. nonlinear

Answer

The function  y = 3x - 5 is a linear function.

Option (A) is correct .

Reason

Definition of linear function

Linear functions are those whose graph is a straight line.

A linear function has the following form. y = f(x) = a + bx.

A linear function has one independent variable and one dependent variable.

Thus the graph of this function  y = 3x - 5 is linear as given below and it is in the form of  y = f(x) = a + bx .

Here y is dependent and x is independent variable.

Therefore  y = 3x - 5 is a linear function.
