Understanding Linear Functions and Graphs

The video tutorial explains how to identify linear functions by analyzing their characteristics. It covers the basics of linear functions, common mistakes in identifying slope and y-intercept, and the relationship between polynomials and linear functions. The tutorial also distinguishes linear functions from other polynomial functions and explains the slope-intercept form and constant rate of change. Finally, it summarizes the key points on identifying linear functions.

Explain the significance of the constant rate of change in linear functions.
