A linear equation contains only the first power of the unknown quantity. Thus, 5x - 3 = 7 and x/6 = 4 are both linear equations. Linear equations have only one solution which is the value of the unknown that when substituted in the equation , makes the left hand side equal to the right hand side.

Linear functions have the same limitation in terms of only containing the first power of the unknown quantity. They yield graphs that are straight lines and thus the name 'linear' is used. A simple linear function is f:x →2x + 1. This can also be written as f(x) = 2x + 1 or another identifying letter used such as y = 2x + 1. Consequently, for different values of the unknown quantity (in this case 'x') then the function also yields a different value.
