A directly proportional graph has an equation of the form y = mx. It always passes through the origin.
A linear graph will have an equation in the from y = mx + c. This has a y-intercept at (0, c). It doesn't pass through the origin unless c = 0. The directly proportional graph is a special case of a linear graph.

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.
Do linear graphs represent proportional relationships?
Do all linear graphs have proportional relationship
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!
What does it mean for a system of linear equations to have no solutions?
It means that there is no set of values for the variables such that all the linear equations are simultaneously true.
Why are linear equations called linear equations?
Because, if plotted on a Cartesian plane, all solutions to the equation would lie on a straight line.
