Standard form for a linear equation is y=mx+b
m (always small m) is the slope and b is the intercept when x=0
Yes, it is linear.
divide by 5
y=3/5x
It goes through the origin.(0,0). So b=0 slope is 3/5 which means for 3 y's x moves 5

If there are no exponents, then it is linear.
Standard form is Ax + By = C
.
3x - 5y = 0
