Concept

Linear Function

A linear function is a function with a constant rate of change. A linear function can be represented by a linear equation in two variables. Graphically, a linear function is a nonvertical line.

Using that line, the rate of change can be determined by finding the horizontal change and the vertical change between any two points on the line. Any function whose graph is not a straight line cannot be linear.
