Explanation:

A linear function is a function whose graph is a straight line. This means that the function can be written in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

Of the given equations, only y = -(1/4)x + 2 is in this form, with m = -(1/4) and b = 2. So this equation represents a linear function.

The correct answer is: y equals negative one-fourth times x plus 2.
