S= 5? that's at the top of my head
To plot these points on the number line, you should label the long lines on the number line as such starting from the left (-5-already there, -4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5-already there).
Now take each number and convert the improper fraction into a mixed number. 9/2 = 4 1/2 and -7/2 = -3 1/2.
4 1/2 would plotted on the line exactly in between the 4 and 5.
-3 1/2 would be plotted on the line exactly halfway between -3 and -4.
You will draw a dot to show each of these positions on a number line.

If the 3 is an exponent, then the person above me is right.
Answer:
It is linear. It is linear because it is a strait line which means that it is a function. A not linear line would look like a noodle.
