[tex]\text{The given equation is linear}[/tex]

Linear equations are of the form;

[tex]y\text{ = mx + b}[/tex]

where we have it that the highest power of tha variables is 1

We can re-write the given equation to look like

[tex]y\text{ = -5x-35}[/tex]

Thus, we have it in the form of the linear equation

Thus, we can conclude that the equation is linear
