The function ( y = frac{5}{3} – frac{1}{10}x ) is linear.

A linear function can be expressed in the form ( y = mx + b ), where ( m ) is the slope and ( b ) is the y-intercept. In this case, it matches that form with ( m = -frac{1}{10} ) and ( b = frac{5}{3} ). This means that the graph of the function is a straight line, confirming it is linear.
