Linear Functions Quiz

Linear Functions

• A linear function can be identified by the equation in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
• An example of a linear function is an equation where the highest power of the variable(s) is 1.

Slope of a Linear Function

• The slope of a line represented by the equation y = 3x - 2 is 3.
• The slope of a line can be interpreted as the change in y over the change in x (rise over run).

Non-Linear Relationships

• An equation that does not represent a linear relationship between x and y is one where the highest power of the variable(s) is not 1, such as quadratic or exponential equations.

Graph of a Linear Function with Negative Slope

• If a linear function has a negative slope, the graph of the function would appear to be decreasing from left to right, with the y-values decreasing as the x-values increase.
