Hello there.

Is this function linear or nonlinear?

nonlinear

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. The function given as y=3x-5 is a linear function where y varies directly with x. Linear functions are those whose graph is a straight line. A linear function has the following form. y = f (x) = a + bx.

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
