Linear Function
Linear Function is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 41: Functions in Saxon Math, Course 3.
Key Concepts
Property If all the input output pairs of a function fall on a line, then the function is linear.
Examples The equation $y = x + 2$ is linear. Pairs like $(1, 3)$, $(2, 4)$, and $(3, 5)$ all line up perfectly. The function for the perimeter of an equilateral triangle, $P = 3s$, is linear because the points $(1,3)$ and $(2,6)$ are on the same line. The function for the area of a square, $A = s^2$, is not linear because the points $(1,1)$, $(2,4)$, and $(3,9)$ form a curve, not a line.
Explanation Imagine you're earning money at a steady rate. For every hour you work, your pay goes up by the same amount. When you plot these points on a graph, they form a perfectly straight line—that's a linear function!
