Question 52 ptsWhat type of function is y - 5 = 5x? Explain.The function is linear because it can be written in the form y = mx + b: y = 5x + 5.The function is NOT linear because it is not written in the form y = mx + bThe function is NOT linear because it is written in the form y+b = mxNone of the other answers are correctQuestion 6

Answer 1

If a function can be written in y = mx + b form, it is linear.

The function given:

$y-5=5x$

Taking "5" to the right hand side, we get:

$y=5x+5$

This is in the form y = mx + b, with m = 5 and b = 5.

This is a linear function.
