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 arithmetic rules and linear functions alike?
They are not.
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.
Why is function and linear equation difference?
Functions and linear equations are the same in that they both deal with x and y coordinates and points on a graph but have differences in limitations, appearance and purpose. Often, functions give you the value of either x or y, but linear equations ask to solve for both x and y.
