Which statement about the equation y = 5x – 8 is correct? A. The equation represents a linear function because the equation is in the form y = mx + b.
B. The equation represents a linear function because the equation has two variables, x and y.
C. The equation does not represent a function because some x-values have more than one y-value.
D. The equation does not represent a linear function because the equation is in the form y = mx – b, not y = mx + b.

  A. The equation represents a linear function because the equation is in the form y = mx + b

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function does not have to be in the form y = mx + b, but if a function is in that form, it is a linear function.

  choice A is appropriate

__

A function may have two variables, x and y, and not be a linear function. For example, y = x² is not a linear function. The fact that it has two variables is not what makes it linear.

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a straight line which is in the form y = mx + b

all the angles opposite to the angle 150 would be 150 and all the angles that are next to 150 are 30 because they equal 180 it you add it up.
