Choose the correct classification of 5x + 2.

Third degree polynomial
Fourth degree trinomial
First degree binomial
Sixth degree polynomial

First degree polynomial

[tex]a_{n}x^{n}+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+...+a_{2}x^{2}+a_{1}x+ a_{0}[/tex]

Given that:

[tex]a_{n}=0[/tex]
[tex]a_{n-1}=0[/tex]
[tex]a_{2}=0[/tex]
[tex]a_{1}=5[/tex]
[tex]a_{0}=2[/tex]

We have a first degree polynomial. This polynomial also represents a straight line with a slope m = 5. This straight line also cut the y-axis in b = 2
5x + 2 = First degree binomial

The degree is first because x is only raised to the first power 1
