 Definition of Linear function f(x) = mx + b

A function is linear if and only if its equation can be

written in the form y = mx + b or f(x) = mx + b, where m is
the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. This form is
known as the slope-intercept form. The degree of the
How will you do it?
linear function is one. The graph is a non-vertical straight
line.
Examples:
1. Is y + 3x = 2 a linear function? 4
Solve for y:
y + 3x = 2 The equation is in the form ax + by = c.
y + 3x – 3x = -3x + 2 By APE, add – 3x to both sides of the
equation.
Examples:

2. Is y = 2 a linear function?
Since the equation can be written in the form y = mx + b or 5
f(x) = mx + b, where m = 0 and b = 2. Then, y = 2 is a linear function.

3. Is x2 – y + 1 = 0 a linear function?
6
4. Is y(x + 6) = x(y + 3) a linear function?
y(x + 6) = x(y + 3) Apply distributive property of
multiplication.
xy + 6y = xy + 3x
xy + 6y + (-xy) = xy + 3x + (-xy) By APE, add – xy to both sides of
the equations
6y = 3x

y= x
2
After simplifying, the equation is linear since it can be written
in the form
1
y = mx + b, where m = and b = 0.

Identify which of the following functions are

linear.

1. y = 2x – 3
2. y = 3(x + 2) + 5
3. y = x(x – 4)
4. y = -5x
5. y=3

 What you will do?

Given a Linear Function Ax +By = C,

Rewrite in the Form f(x) = mx + b, a Slope-Intercept
Form and Vice Versa
.
The standard form of linear equation Ax + By = C
can be transformed to a linear function f(x) = mx + b
called slope - intercept form, where m is the slope
and b is the y-intercept. 9
 How will you do it?

Example 1: Write 3y = -2x – 6 in the form f(x)= mx +b. Give the

value of m and b.
Solution: 3y = -2x – 6

y=- x–2 By MPE, multiply to both sides of the

equation

or f (x) = - x–2

 Example 2: Write 5x + 2y – 5 = 6 in the form f(x)= mx +b.
Give the value of m and b.
Solution:
5x + 2y – 5 = 6 Arrange the equation in the form ax + by = c
5x + 2y = 11
2y = -5x + 11 By APE, add – 5x to both sides of the
equation.

Always remember that 5 11 1

y=- x+ By MPE, multiply to both sides of the
