Answer

Linear function.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow y-x=2x-\frac{2}{3}y$ Multiply each side by $3$. $\Rightarrow 3(y-x)=3(2x-\frac{2}{3}y)$ Use distributive property. $\Rightarrow 3y-3x=6x-2y$ Add $2y+3x$ to each side. $\Rightarrow 3y-3x+2y+3x=6x-2y+2y+3x$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 5y=9x$ Divide each side by $5$. $\Rightarrow \frac{5y}{5}=\frac{9x}{5}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow y=\frac{9}{5}x$ $\Rightarrow y=\frac{9}{5}x+0$ The equation can be written as $y=mx+b$. Hence, the given equation represent a linear function.
