Document Summary
Provide a generalization to each of the key terms listed in this section. Linear functions are functions, which are normally labeled f , if they are written in the following form: f (x) = mx + b. Linear function examples y = 2x + 5 f (x) = . If a linear function is increasing over its given domain, then its slope will be positive. If a linear function is decreasing over its given domain, then its slope will be negative. If a linear function is constant, which is normally a horizontal line like y = 3, over its given domain, then its slope will be zero. If a linear function is unde ned, which is normally a vertical line like x = 3, over its given domain, then its slope will be unde ned. The following is is a chart with four of the common polynomials along with their proper terms, degrees, and forms:
