y = mx + c is equation of a straight line.
y = - 5x - 5 is also.
Thus IS LINEAR. ( note that x is to power 1)

Yes. Whenever an equation has a Y with a coefficient of one and an X that is to the power of 1, or simply just X, it is linear

It is because, the graph is a straight line with a constant slope , -5. If it were quadratic, or whatever else, the slope would be a function of x.

yes,
standard linear eq. is y=ax+b and in this eq. a=-5 and b=-5
