Yes

A linear equation would be represented in the formula of #y = mx + b#.

The equation #y = 3x - 10# also follows the same format. The #m# value is 3 and the #b# value is -10.

Remember: Linear equations have a constant slope and when graphed has a line that does no straight and without any curves.

Here is the graph of the line # y = 3x - 10#:
