praxer · Answer

it is of the form y=mx+c where m is so, it B .

praxer · Answer

where m is -9 the slope and c is the y intercept.

The highest power is 1, so it's degree is 1, which makes it linear.

compassionate · Answer

Linear just means that the variable in an equation appears only with a power of one. So x is linear but x^2 is non-linear. Also any function like cos(x) is non-linear.
