The equation x=c where c is a constant is the equation of a vertical line. It can't be a function but it is linear so the answer is no.
For example, the vertical line produced by the linear equation x = 3 does not represent a function. We cannot write this equation so that y is a function of x because the only x-value is 3 and this "maps" to every real-number y.

How are linear equations and functions alike?
They are not. A vertical line is not a function so all linear equations are not functions. And all functions are not linear equations.
How are functions and linear equations similar?
Linear equations are a small minority of functions.
How are functions like linear equations?
Most functions are not like linear equations.
How are linear equations similar or different from functions?
A linear equation is a specific type of function that represents a straight line on a graph. While all linear equations are functions, not all functions are linear equations. Functions can take many forms, including non-linear ones that do not result in a straight line on a graph. Linear equations, on the other hand, follow a specific form (y = mx + b) where the x variable has a coefficient and the equation represents a straight line.
Do all graphs of linear equations have x intercepts?
YES, all linear equations have x-intercepts. because of the x, y has to be there 2!
