The line passes through (2,-3) and (4,2).

Calculate the slope of the line.
m = (2+3)/(4-2) = 5/2

The equation of the line is therefore
$\frac{y-2}{x-4} = \frac{5}{2}$

Cross multiply.
2(y-2) = 5(x-4)
2y - 4 = 5x - 20
2y = 5x - 16
Rewrite as
5x - 2y = 16

Answer: C. 5x - 2y = 16

Answer:

Is y = 4x - 7 a linear function?
Is y = 6x² - 1 a linear function?
Is y = $\frac{1}{2x}$ + 10 a linear function?

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes it is - when you graph this equation, it results in a [straight] line, signalling that it is a linear function.
No it's not - when you graph this equation, it results in a v- kinda shape on the graph. Linear functions are [straight] lines on a graph, and this line wasn't straight. In fact, this wasn't even a line.
No it's not - when you graph this equation, it results in a bend at the origin. The line on the graph is not straight, so this is not a linear equation.

For the graphs -
