Linear = Straight line! So, a graph of a linear relationship is a straight line.
It's linear, so it's a line...
A straight line that goes through the origin.
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.
The steps are to find the y-axis (dependent variable) and the x-axis (independent variable), then make a scale for your variables on the graph.
