Is the graph of y = 5x + 6 is a straight line???

Answer 1

Yes, since y = mx+b for some m,b in the real numbers, this is the equation of a straight line.

Answer 2

Yes. Y = m.x + c is the equation of a straight line and we have here y = 5x + 6. So, we have m = 5 and c = 6. So, it fits the equation for a straight line.

Answer 3

yes. It has a polynomial of degree 1. For every superscript value you have on your unknown (x) the line will curve again.

for examle.
y = 5x + 6 = straight line
y= 5x^2 = U shaped
y = 5x^3 = S shaped

Answer 4

yes, first-degree equations (where x is raised only to the first power) are also known as linear equations because their graph is a straight line

Answer 5

Yes; it's a linear equation of the form y=mx+b

Answer 6

Of course...
It depends on the power of the x...
If the x is powered by 2..itll be a curve line~ like dis 'U' ...or... 'n'
If the x is powered by 3...itll oso be a curved graph....like dis one '~'
y=5x+6
y=0, x=-6/5 plot laaa (-6/5,0)
x=0 , y=6 plot daaa (0,6)

hahaa, if u wanna plot another coordinate yeah try it...itll be around the line I can assure u...

y=1,x=-1

...its a straight line aight....^-^

Answer 7

yup
