Linear Functions (COMPLETE)

A linear function is a function whose graph forms a straight line. The standard form of a linear function is y = Ax + B, where A and B are real numbers and A is not equal to 0. There are three ways to determine if a function is linear: from its graph, equation, or a table of ordered pairs. The slope of a line is the constant rate of change and indicates how steep the line is. There are four types of slopes: positive, negative, zero, and undefined. The steeper the absolute value of the slope, the closer the line is to the y-axis.
