Study Notes

Definition of Linear Function

  • A linear function is a function that can be expressed as a straight line on a graph.

Examples of Linear Functions

  • Examples of linear functions include f(x) = 2x + 3, g(x) = x - 4, and h(x) = 5.

Slope-Intercept Form of a Linear Function

  • The slope-intercept form of a linear function is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Gradient of a Linear Function

  • The gradient of a linear function represents the rate of change of the output value with respect to the input value.
  • The gradient of a linear function is constant, meaning it does not change at any point on the line.

Y-Intercept of a Linear Function

  • The y-intercept of a linear function represents the point at which the line crosses the y-axis.
  • The y-intercept is the value of y when x is equal to 0.

Properties of Linear Functions

  • Linear functions have a constant rate of change, meaning the output value changes at a constant rate as the input value changes.
  • The graph of a linear function is a straight line.

Properties of Gradient of a Linear Function

  • The gradient of a linear function is a measure of its steepness.
  • A positive gradient indicates a line that slopes upwards, while a negative gradient indicates a line that slopes downwards.
