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

Explanation:

we have

`y=-5x-3` -----> equation A

The equation A represent a linear equation-----> The graph is a line

`y=4x+5` -----> equation B

The equation B represent a linear equation -----> The graph is a line

therefore

Both equations are linear
