Expert Solution
Linear Function

A. General equation of a linear function is y=mx+b.

B. m represents the slope ( tangent of the angle which the line makes with the x-axis in an anticlockwise direction).

C. b represents the y-intercept of the line.

D. We need the slope (m) of the line and the y-intercept(b) of the function. Or, if we plot the function of the x-y plane, if we have coordinates of 2 points on the line, then also we can find the function.
