Question

A function of the form f(x) = mx + b, where m and b are real numbers, is called a _____ function.

Example: f(x) = 6x - 5

Answer 1

please help

Answer 2

f(x) same as y
so y =mx+b <--- this is linear equation slope intercept
so that function also same like this one y =mx+b
is that linear or exponential function

Answer 3

i dont know

Answer 4

a function in the form f(x) = y = m x + b is a function with the highest exponent is one
this give you a line therefore linear

Answer 5

y = mx+b <=== linear equation
f(x) = mx+b <===this one also same they just wrote f(x) which represent function
instead of y
and f(x)=y
they both are same equation if first one is linear then 2nd one also ????

Answer 6

for example when the highest power is 2 then quadratic you have a parabola
