y=mx+b
A linear relationship is given by the equation y=ax+b Anything which can be modelled by this equation is a linear relationship. For example, the circumference of a circle is pi times d. This can be modelled by y=ax+b where y is the circumference, a is pi, x is the diameter and b is 0. Therefore, the circumference of a circle as the diameter changes is a perfect linear relationship.
A Y-intercept and the slope. The y-intercept is where the line crosses the Y axis.
The graph of a linear proportion will be a straight line passing through the origin. The equation will have the form y = mx, also written as y = kx.
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.
