Given a linear function in n variables, you need to select values for (n-1) of the variables. Solve the resulting function for the nth variable. Then the ordered n-tuple represents the coordinates, in n-dimensional space, of a point that is on the linear function.
Selecting different sets of (n-1) variables, and different values will result in different solutions. Together, these will from a line in n-dimensional space.

Is there an instance when a linear equation is not a function?
Yes, a vertical line is linear, but it is not a function, because every point on the line has the same x value.
How do you graph linear functions?
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.
Linear function increasing?
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.
Is an exponential function linear?
No. An exponential function is not linear. A very easy way to understand what is and what is not a linear function is in the word, "linear function." A linear function, when graphed, must form a straight line.P.S. The basic formula for any linear function is y=mx+b. No matter what number you put in for the m and b variables, you will always make a linear function.
Find the initial value of the linear function y=2x+7?
