No. A linear equation is just one type of function.
If you graph a linear equation, you get a straight line.
A "function" on the other hand can take on many different forms: a straight line, a wave line (the sine function), a parabola, etc.

What similarities and differences do you see between the function and linear equations?
Linear equations are a tiny subset of functions. Linear equations are simple, continuous functions.
What is the definition of Simultaneous Linear Equations?
A system of linear equations is two or more simultaneous linear equations. In mathematics, a system of linear equations (or linear system) is a collection of linear equations involving the same set of variables.
Are all linear equations functions?
yes yes No, vertical lines are not functions
Is linear algebra and linear equations the same?
Linear Algebra is a branch of mathematics that enables you to solve many linear equations at the same time. For example, if you had 15 lines (linear equations) and wanted to know if there was a point where they all intersected, you would use Linear Algebra to solve that question. Linear Algebra uses matrices to solve these large systems of equations.
Why are not all functions linear equations?
Linear equations can be written as y = mx + b. Any other function would be non-linear. Some linear equations are: y = 3x y = 2 y = -2x + 4 y = 3/4x - 0.3 Some non-linear functions are: f(x) = x2 y = sqrt(x) f(x) = x3 + x2 - 2
