Question

Two equations are shown:

Equation A
y = −5x − 3

Equation B
y = 4x + 5

Which statement best compares the graphs of the two equations?

Both are nonlinear.
Both are linear.
Equation A is nonlinear and equation B is linear.
Equation A is linear and equation B is a nonlinear.

Answer 1

both are linear because they're on the format of y=mx+b. m= slope and b= the y-intercept

Answer 2

the answer is "Both are nonlinear. "
