is the equation (y+7)=3(x-2) linear and a function?
Yes, the equation (y+7) = 3(x-2) is both linear and a function.
It is linear because it forms a straight line when graphed, and it follows the general form of a linear equation (y = mx + b) where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
It is also a function because for each value of x, there is only one corresponding value of y. In other words, there are no repeated x-values with different y-values.
