Front

What is a linear function?

Back

A function that graphs to a straight line, represented by the equation y = mx + b.

Front

What is a nonlinear function?

Back

A function that does not graph to a straight line, often represented by equations involving exponents, roots, or trigonometric functions.

Front

What does the slope of a linear function represent?

Back

Front

What is the difference between a linear equation and a nonlinear equation?

Back

A linear equation has a constant rate of change and graphs to a straight line, while a nonlinear equation has a variable rate of change and graphs to a curve.
