Linear & Non-Linear Functions Algebra I
A linear function is a function that graphs as a straight line when plotted, meaning it has a constant slope, while a nonlinear function does not graph as a straight line and has a changing slope, resulting in a curved graph; essentially, any function that isn't linear is considered nonlinear. Key points about linear functions: Graph as a straight line, Constant slope, and Equation typically in the form: y = mx + b. Key points about nonlinear functions: Graph as a curve, Changing slope, and May include exponents higher than 1 in the equation.
