In analytic geometry a linear function means a first-degree polynomial function of one variable. These functions are called "linear" because their graphs in the Cartesian coordinate plane are a straight lines.
A sine wave does not have a graph that is a straight line.
A linear equation would imply meeting of superposition, that is af(x) + bf(y) = f(ax+by). We know from basic trig that sin(a+b) = sin(a)cos(b) + cos(a)sin(b). We can derive this out and find that sin(a+b) is not the same as sin(a) + sin(b).
This therefore would exclude sin from being linear either in the geometric or systems sense.

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.
What are the intervals of sine function?
The sine function repeats every 2pi radians (360 degrees).
What is the end behavior of a linear function?
Assuming the domain is unbounded, the linear function continues to be a linear function to its end.
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.
A linear function does not have a y-intercept?
it is impossible for a linear function to not have a y-intercept
