Which equation is a linear function?

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In general ,A linear function has the form y = ax + b
so ,the functions :
y = √x
y = x²
y = x³
don’t meet the requirements of the definition
therefore none of them is linear.
but y = x is a valid choice (just put a = 1 and b = 0 in the expression y = ax + b)
