true

Answer 2

as the power of x is one

Answer 3

this is a linear equation right everyone??

its not just a point no matter what you input into x it will always = 5 thus it is a constant function

Answer 8

The Out put of the function is always equal to 5
the input of the function is a variable

Answer 9

Yeah, so cant it be treated as a special case?

Answer 10

oh I was wrong sorry Just looked at the definition of linear, it is linear.

Answer 11

This is not a special case.

Answer 13

sorry if I caused any confusion

Answer 14
