Linear Function Definition

Linear Function Definition In mathematics, the concept linear algebra can be considered as a part of algebra. Linear function is a mathematical concept which deals with two different concepts that is first degree of polynomial function with single variable and a map which is used for representing the coordinate points on a Cartesian plane. According to the standard definition we can define linear function as a mathematical function which can be shown in the graphically form at Cartesian plane by a straight line. It means to say that linear function can be considered as a 1st degree of polynomial of the straight line with single variable. In the below we show you a polynomial equation that represents linear function. F(a) = ma + c In the above given polynomial equation the variable m and c can be consider as a constant variables and the variable a represent the value of real variable.

As we define that the variable m and c are constants variable where m shows the slope value and the variable c representing the y intercept. The concept of linear function is formed by two words that is linear and function. To understand the concept of linear function we need to understand first this. A function is a collection of ordered pairs of variable or numbers which is followed by some property. The property of a function is that first member of the pair is different from the members of other pairs. On the other side the function within linear aspect can be define as a basic function on which the concept of mathematical calculus based upon. If someone asked a question what is a linear function then we can define linear function in a simplified form as a graph that contains a segments of any straight line through its domain. Here we show how to solve linear function. If any problem arises in term of solving linear function then we can say that mathematics defines a such kind of formula to solve linear function problem. There is a simple way to calculate linear function that accepts the value of f(x) at x and f(y) at y as: f(a) = f (x) * a y / x y + f (y) * a x / y x In a more simplified form linear function can be expressed as: f (a) = ( f (y) f (x) / y x ) a + (y f(x) x f(y) /y x ) When we simplify the above given equation then we obtain the more simplified equation that can be consider as polynomial equation that are given below :

f(a) = ma + c In the above equation the occurring number m can be consider as a slope value for a line. It is value whose value vary according to the change of value f between a = x and a = y to the changes in the value of a between these two arguments. When the different of function are plotted on y axis of graph then here c can be consider as a y intercept of a line. It describe the point between the y axis and a line.
