Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Equation of the line</u>
A straight line can be written in the form:
y = ax + b
Where a and b are constants and x is the independent variable.
The essential condition for an equation to be linear is that the x must be powered to the exponent 1, which is usually not written.
From the equations presented in the table:
is linear because the exponent of the x is 1
y = 5(x+2) = 5x + 10 is linear with a=5 and b=10.
y = x is linear with a=1 and b=0
is not linear because the exponent of x is 2
is not linear because the exponent of x is 2
