Sc/ math 1013 lecture #2 mathematical models: a catalog of essential. It is a mathematical description [often by means of a function or an equation] of a real- world phenomenon. Examples are life expectancy of a person at birth or the speed of a falling object or size of population or the demand for a product. It is never a completely accurate representation of a physical situation it is just an. When it says y is the linear function of x, we mean that the graph of the function is a line so we can use the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line. Y=mx+b where the m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. An example is y=3x-2 so you will see whenever x increases by 0. 1, the value of y increases by 0. 3.
