$140 - 0.7 x$

Step 1

Write $140 - 0.7 x$ as an equation.

$y = 140 - 0.7 x$

Step 2

Reorder $140$ and $- 0.7 x$ .

$y = - 0.7 x + 140$

Step 3

A linear equation is an equation of a straight line, which means that the degree of a linear equation must be $0$ or $1$ for each of its variables. In this case, the degree of variable $y$ is $1$ and the degree of variable $x$ is $1$ .
