how do we find linear feet or inche
By finding something who's behavior is represented by a linear function and graphing it.
An equation is a statement that two things are equal. A function is a rule or process that gives you a value if you give it something in its domain (the set of things on which it is defined) as an argument. Functions on numbers that are defined by a rule can usually be expressed by an equation. A linear function is one that can be defined by a linear equation.
Below is a rule that is an example of a non-linear function when b is 49, a is 7 and a is a function of b: a = square root of b 7 = square root 49 7=7
A linear function is called "linear" because it represents a straight line. To graph a linear function, find two points that satisify that function, plot them, and then draw a straight line between them.

The rule ( y = 2^{2x} ) represents an exponential function. In this equation, the variable ( x ) is in the exponent, which is a key characteristic of exponential functions. In contrast, a linear function would have ( x ) raised to the first power, resulting in a straight line when graphed. Thus, ( y = 2^{2x} ) is not linear but exponential.
A linear function is increasing if it has a positive slope. To find this easily, put the function into the form y=mx+b. If m is positive, the function is increasing. If m is negative, it is decreasing.
A function is considered linear if it follows the rule of proportionality, meaning that the relationship between the input and output values is constant and can be represented by a straight line on a graph.
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.
The linear regression function rule describes the relationship between a dependent variable (y) and one or more independent variables (x) through a linear equation, typically expressed as ( y = mx + b ) for simple linear regression. In this equation, ( m ) represents the slope of the line (indicating how much y changes for a one-unit change in x), and ( b ) is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is zero). For multiple linear regression, the function expands to include multiple predictors, represented as ( y = b_0 + b_1x_1 + b_2x_2 + ... + b_nx_n ). The goal of linear regression is to find the best-fitting line that minimizes the difference between observed and predicted values.
It's the gradient, or the steepness, of a linear function. It is represented by 'm' in the linear formula y=mx+b. To find the slope of a line, pick to points. The formula is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). See the related link "Picture of a Linear Function for a picture of a linear function.
