Is y=5/x a linear function?

Question

Is y=5/x a linear function?

Answer 1

No. All linear functions can be written in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (slope-intercept form). Alternatively, a linear function can be expressed in the form y – y₀ = m(x – x₀), where m is the slope and (x₀, y₀) is a point on the line (point-slope form).

This function, y = 5/x, is a hyperbola, with a vertical asymptote at x = 0 and horizontal asymptote at y = 0. (https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=xy+%3D+5).
