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.

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Why I know is that it is in the form of y=mx+b and even though you must think it is not because of the minus sign well look at this equation it is linear and it does not even look to much like the form y=mx+b/  y=-2x-4

if a = 1,   and b = 2, then the answer is 47.99999999. if you round that to the nearest whole number, the answer is 48.
