To determine if the equation \(7x^2 + y = 5\) is a linear or nonlinear function, we can analyze it based on the degree of the variable \(x\).
1. A linear function can be expressed in the form \(y = mx + b\) (where \(m\) and \(b\) are constants) or can be rearranged to that form. In a linear function, the highest power of the variable \(x\) is 1.
2. In the equation \(7x^2 + y = 5\), the term \(7x^2\) contains \(x\) raised to the second power, which means it is a quadratic term.
Since the highest power of \(x\) in this equation is 2, we conclude that it does not meet the criteria for a linear function.
Based on this analysis, the correct response would be:
**The function \(7x^2 + y = 5\) is a nonlinear function.**
