A. Linear
====================================
[tex]\large \sf \underline{Explanation:}[/tex]
The standard form for linear equations in two variables is Ax+By=C. For example, 2x+3y=5 is a linear equation in standard form. When an equation is given in this form, it's pretty easy to find both intercepts (x and y).
