A polynomial of degree 1 in one variable is called a:

AConstant polynomial
BLinear polynomial
CQuadratic polynomial
DCubic polynomial
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Linear polynomial
By definition, a polynomial of degree 1 (highest power of the variable = 1) is a linear polynomial. **Examples:** 4x, 2x + 3, −5x + 7. Linear polynomials produce straight-line graphs.
