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.

Both are linear.

Step-by-step explanation:

I graphed both of the equations on the graph below to show you that both of them are linear.

Look, when you want to do something like put it like x^2. x2 could mean x² or x₂. so to clear confusion, know the notation. to find the product multiply the x's and you get -8x and the y's and you get 6y. since it's all being multiplied it is just -8x6y, or answer a. although the better answer is -48xy(combining -8 and 6) because you should multiply constants whenever you can.
