Given:
y = -5x + 7
Determine if it is a linear function.
Explanation:
The given function, -x + 7 is a linear function since it has a degree or exponent of 1. Linear functions are known to have a slope when represented in the cartersian coordinate plane, hence it can either be a diagonal line, or straight line, as the word "Linear" suggests. For functions with a degree of 2, they are referred as quadratic, and cubic for functions with a degree of 3.
