A linear function is a line where a quadratic function is a curve. In general, y=mx+b is linear and y=ax^2+bx+c is quadratic.
A linear equation IS a function. A function can look like X2+X+C, or X3+0, or X+Y+C, or many other ways. The function X+Y+C is a function in two variables, and can be a linear equation.
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.
Both are polynomials. They are continuous and are differentiable.
Linear function:No variable appears in the function to any power other than 1.A periodic input produces no new frequencies in the output.The function's first derivative is a number; second derivative is zero.The graph of the function is a straight line.Non-linear function:A variable appears in the function to a power other than 1.A periodic function at the input produces new frequencies in the output.The function's first derivative is a function; second derivative is not zero.The graph of the function is not a straight line.
