Question
what does the graph of a linear function look like? (1 poir
o a straight line
a circle
a parabola
a curvy line
A linear function has the form \( y = mx + b \), where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y - intercept. By the definition of a linear function, its graph is a straight line. A circle is the graph of a circle equation (e.g., \( (x - h)^2+(y - k)^2 = r^2 \)), a parabola is the graph of a quadratic function (e.g., \( y=ax^{2}+bx + c\)), and a curvy line is the graph of non - linear functions (like exponential or trigonometric functions in many cases).
