Is it required that linear graphs have to be started from the origin cordinates(0,0) or can they be started from any point on the graph? What properties make a graph linear? (Extra points given, no spam answers otherwise it will be reported)

Answer: To understand this question , we first should understand , what linearity exactly means . For a function to be linear , it must satisfy the equation Y=mX+C . Where Y is the length along y axis , X is the length along the X axis , and m is the slope of the line. C is any constant real value for the normal axes . Now , your question is , should they always have to be through the origin . The answer is no.
Step-by-step explanation: Any equation that satisfies the y=mx+c condition is a Linear graph . For example, if we put C=0, in y=mx+c , then it becomes y=mx. the y =mxgraph will pass through origin(0,0) when y=0 and x=0 . But when C is not 0. it wont be passing through 0,0. I have attatched 2 images , showing these 2 scenarios , for your understanding.
