A linear function is a type of mathematical function that represents a straight line when graphed on a coordinate plane. In calculus, as well as in algebra, linear functions are defined by the equation of the form: \\\[ f(x) = mx + b \\\] Here: - \\( f(x) \\) is the value of the function at \\( x \\). - \\( m \\) is the slope of the line, which indicates how steep the line is.
