Definition

linear function A linear function is a special type of polynomial with the form f(x) = ax + b, where a and b are constants.

Mechanism

linear function The linear function n = -1.04p +26 models the number of units sold in thousands as a linear function of price per item. This relationship is used to estimate revenue through the quadratic function R(p) = -1.03p² + 26p for 0 < p < 25.

Examples

linear function A linear function's graph passes through the point (x,, y,) with a slope of m.
