Interpret the equation y = -4x + 10. What type of function does this equation define? Describe its graph.

(1 point)
O This is a linear function. Its graph is a straight line with a slope of -4 and a intercept of 10.
• This is a nonlinear function. Its graph has a maximum at (0, 10).
O This is a nonlinear function. Its graph is a curve.
O This is a linear function. Its graph is a straight line with a g-intercept of -4 and a slope of 10.

The correct answer is:

This is a linear function. Its graph is a straight line with a slope of -4 and an intercept of 10.
