are you sure?

Yes, I am sure. The equation y = -4x + 10 represents a linear function. Linear functions have a constant rate of change, or slope, and their graphs are straight lines. In this case, the slope is -4, meaning that for every unit increase in x, y decreases by 4 units. The y-intercept is 10, which is the point where the line intersects the y-axis.
