Look at it! Can you put into a form like Ax+By=C? Are all exponents for the unknown variables in YOUR equation 1 ?

and if you are interested in the axis intercepts, have you thought to:
Let y=0 and solve for x?
Let x=0 and solve for y?

A linear equation is any equation that can be written in the form
ax%2Bby=c+where+a, b and c are real numbers, x and+y+ are variables. This form is sometimes called the standard form of a linear equation.

given:
5+-+2y+=+3x+
Rewrite the equation in standard form.
-3x+-+2y+=+-5
The equation is now in standard form where a+=+-3,+b=+-2, and+c+=-5.
so, answer is: This is a linear equation.
