Question

Write one example of a linear function and one example of a non-linear function. (Use x and y as the variables)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

EXAMPLE OF LINEAR FUNCTION

• For example, a common equation, y=mx+b y = m x + b , (namely the slope-intercept form, which we will learn more about later) is a linear function because it meets both criteria with x and y as variables and m and b as constants.

EXAMPLE OF NON-LINEAR FUNCTION

• Linear functions are functions where x is raised only to the first power. On graphs, linear functions are always straight lines. y = mx + b 3x + 5y - 10 = 0 y = 88x are all examples of linear equations. The graphs of nonlinear functions are not straight lines.

y=ax³ - 5

3 = a
