If we are talking about a linear equation in the form y = mx + b, then all linear equations are functions. Functions have at most one y value to every x value (there may be more than one x value to every y value, and some x- and y-values may not be assigned at all); all linear equations satisfy this condition.
Moreover, linear equations with m ≠ 0 are invertible functions as well, which means that there is at most one x-value to every y-value (as well as vice versa).

Is a linear equation the same as a function?
No a linear equation are not the same as a linear function. The linear function is written as Ax+By=C. The linear equation is f{x}=m+b.
What is the parent function for a linear equation?
Y=x
Are linear equations and functions the same?
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.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.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.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.
How do you find for the zero of a linear function?
If it is a linear function, it is quite easy to solve the equation explicitly, using standard methods of equation-solving. For example, if you have "y" as a function of "x", you would have to solve the variable for "x".
What is the relation quadratic equation to linear equation?
The derivative of a quadratic function is always linear (e.g. the rate of change of a quadratic increases or decreases linearly).
