Which of these is NOT an equation of a line?

  1. y = mx

  2. x+y=4

  3. y=3

  4. 2x-5y=7

The correct answer is: x+y=4

An equation of a line must include a variable raised to the first power. The options A and C both include a variable y raised to the first power, which makes them valid equations of a line. Option D also includes a variable x raised to the first power. However, option B does not feature any variables raised to the first power and is therefore not an equation of a line.
