A linear function is the most basic algebraic function. It is particularly useful

in describing real-life situations where there is a constant change in the variables
and the phenomena involved one to two variables such as a total income in terms
of the number of working hours, distance travelled in terms of the time consumed
in travelling, and many others. This module will enable you to illustrate and graph
a linear function.

4. How did you find the equation of the line?
What Is It
A. Linear Function
A linear function is a function which ordered pairs satisfy a linear equation.
Any linear function can be written in the form of y=mx+b or f ( x)=mx+b , where m
and b are real numbers and m is the slope of the line, while b is its y-intercept. If
m≠ 0 , then the degree of the function is 1. If m=0 and b ≠ 0, then the degree of the
function is 0. If m=0 and b=0, then the degree of the function is not defined.
Furthermore, a linear function has one dependent variable and one

independent variable. Its graph is a non-vertical straight line. If a function is linear,
then it can be represented by a linear equation. Recall that a linear equation can be
written in different forms which are shown in the table below.
Forms of Linear Equations
Slope-Intercept
y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-
Form intercept
Standard Form
Ax+ By=C where A, B, and C are integers and
A ≥ 0. A and B can be zero but not
both at the same time.
General Form
Ax+ By+C=0 where A or B can be zero but not
both at the same time.
When a linear equation is written in standard form, notice that both x and y
have exponents of 1, x and y are not multiplied together, and x and y do not appear
in denominators, exponents, or radicands.
Illustrative example1
Which of the following functions inside the box are linear?
Solutions:
● The function f ( x )=x−2 is a linear function since the highest exponent of x
is 1 and it is written in the form of f ( x )=mx+b .
● The function f ( x )=3 x 2 +2 x −1 is not a linear function since the highest
exponent of x is not 1.
● The function f ( x )=−2 x is a linear function since the highest exponent of x
is 1 and it can be written in the form of f ( x )=mx+b , where b=0.
● The function f ( x )=2 x 3−x 2+ 1 is not a linear function since the highest
exponent of x is not 1.
● The function f ( x )=2 x −3 is not a linear function since it is not written in the
form f ( x )=mx+b .
● The function f ( xy ) =5 xy is not a linear function since the two variables are
multiplied together and cannot be written in the form y=mx+b or
f (x)=mx+b .
Linear functions can also be presented in table of values.

b.

Solutions:
If the first differences on x-coordinates are equal and the first differences on
y-coordinates are equal, then the function is linear. However, if the first differences
on x-coordinates are equal but the first differences on y-coordinates are not equal
then the function is not linear.

B. Domain and Range of a Linear Function
If a function is defined by f ( x)=mx+b , where m≠ 0 , the domain D of the

function is the set of real numbers and the range R of the function is the set of real
numbers. In symbols,
D={x∨x ϵ R }, reads as “the domain of the function is the set of all x
such that x is an element of the set of real numbers”.
R={ y∨ y ϵ R }, reads as “the range of the function is the set of all y

such that y is an element of the set of real numbers”.
Illustrative example
Find the domain and range of the following linear functions.
a. f ( x)=3 x +5
b. f ( x)=7 x
Solutions:
a. Since the function is in the form f ( x)=mx+b , the domain and range of the
function are both the set of real numbers. In symbol,
D={x∨x ϵ R }
R={ y∨ y ϵ R }
b. Since the function is in the form f ( x)=mx+b , where b=0, the domain
and range of the function are both the set of real numbers. In symbol,
D={x∨x ϵ R }
R={ y∨ y ϵ R }
C. Slope of a Linear Function
The slope (m ) is usually referred to as the rate of change in y over the rate of
change in x .
∆ y change∈ y rise
m= = =
∆ x change∈x run
To find the slope m, you need to determine how much the values of x and y
change.
Suppose the graph has the following coordinates written in tabular form.
Determine the slope of the graph.
x -2 0 2 4 6
y 8 5 2 -1 -4
Solution: 2 2 2 2
X -2 0 2 4 6
Y 8 5 2 -1 -4
-3 y constantly
The values of x constantly increase by 2 and the values of -3 -3 -3
decrease by 3. Thus, the slope is
∆ y change∈ y −3
m= = =
∆ x change∈x 2
D. Graphs of a Linear Function
Graphing linear functions can be done in any of the four methods:
a. Using two points

b. Using x−¿ and y−¿ intercepts
c. Using the slope and y−¿ intercept
d. Using a slope and a point
a. Using Two Points
In geometry, two points determine a line. Thus, two points are enough
to graph a linear function.
Graph the linear function f ( x)= x+ 4 using two of its points.
Step 1
Determine two points on the graph. You may assign two values of x then
compute for f ( x). Let us consider -4 and 3 as the values of x .
When x=−4 f ( x )=x + 4 Given

f (−4 )=−4+ 4 Substitute -4 to x
f (−4 )=0 Result
This gives an ordered pair (-4, 0).
When x=3 f ( x )=x + 4 Given

f ( 3 )=3+ 4 Substitute 3 to x
f ( 3 )=7 Result
This gives an ordered pair (3, 7).
This implies that the graph will pass through the points (-4, 0) and (3, 7).
Step 2 7

(3,7)
5
Plot the ordered pairs (-4, 0) and 4
3
(3, 7). Then, draw a line that passes (-4,0) 2

through these two points. -5 -4 -3 -2 -1-1 1 2 3 4 5
-2
-3
-4
-5

-7
b. Using x−¿ and y−¿ intercepts
Linear function can be graphed using the x -intercept a and y -intercept b .
Remember that the x -intercept of the linear function is the point of intersection
between the graph and the x -axis and is represented by the point (a , 0). Meanwhile,
the y -intercept of the linear function is the point of intersection between the graph
and the y -axis, thus represented by the point (0, b ).
Graph the function f (x)=2 x−6 using the x - and y -intercepts.
Step 1
Find the x - and y -intercepts. Recall that in finding the x -intercept, you need
to let f (x)=0. Meanwhile, in finding the y -intercept, you need to let x=0 . That is,
For x -intercept: f ( x)=2 x−6 Given
0=2 x −6 Let f ( x)=0
0+6=2 x−6+ 6 Add both sides by 6
6=2 x Simplify
( 12 )(6)=(2 x)( 12 ) Multiply both sides by ( 12 )

3=x Simplify
x=3 Symmetric Property of Equality
Thus, the x -intercept is (3, 0). This means that one of the points of the graph is (3,
0).
For y -intercept: f ( x)=2 x−6 Given
f (0)=2(0)−6 Let x=0

f (0)=−6 Simplify
Thus, the y -intercept is (0, -6). Hence, another point of the graph is (0, -6).

Plot the x - and y -intercepts. Then, draw a line that passes through the
intercepts.
c. Using Slope and y−¿ intercept

The third method is by using the slope and the y -intercept. This can be done
by identifying the slope and the y -intercept of the linear function.
Graph the function f ( x)=2 x +1
Step 1
Identify the slope m and the y -intercept b . In the function, slope m is 2

and y -intercept b is 1.
Step 2
Plot first the y -intercept b .
Step 3
Find the other point using the slope.

rise
Remember that slope m= and the value of the
run (1,3)
2
2
slope m which is 2 can be written as which (0,1)
1
means rise = 2 and run = 1. Using the y -intercept as
the starting point, we move 2 units upward since rise =
2, and 1 unit to the right since run = 1. Then, make a
line that passes through the two points.
d. Using Slope and One Point
The fourth method in graphing linear function is by using the slope and one
point. This can be done by plotting first the given point, then finding the other
point using the slope.
Graph the linear function f (x)=−2 x−3 using a slope and a point.
Step 1
Find a point from the function. You may

assign any value for x in the given function, let’s
say x=−1. Then, compute for f (−1).
f ( x)=−2 x−3 Given
f (−1)=−2(−1)−3 Substitute -1 to x
f (−1)=2−3 Simplify
f (−1)=−1 Simplify
Thus, the line passes through the point (−1 ,−1).
Step 2
Find another point using the slope. The

slope of the function is -2 which can also be
−2
written as , thus, rise = -2 and run = 1. From
1
the point (-1, -1), we move 2 units downward
since rise = -2 and one unit to the right since
2
run = 1. Then, make a line that passes through
the two points.

b. Recall the concept of finding the linear equation given two points. From the
table, consider (1, 60) to be the first point and (2, 120) to be the second
point. That is,
y 2− y 1
y− y1 = ( x−x 1) , where P1 (1,60) and P2 (2,120)
x2− x1
120−60
y−60= ( x−1) Substitute
2−1
60
y−60= (x−1) Simplify
1
y−60=60 x−60 Distributive Property
y=60 x−60+60 Addition Property of Equality
f ( x)=60 x
Thus, the linear function that describes the situation is f ( x)=60 x .
c. To find the distance he travelled after 4 hours
f ( x)=60 x The given function
f ( x)=60(4 ) Substitute 4 to x
f ( x)=240 Simplify
Thus, the distance travelled by Fernan after 4 hours is 240 kilometers.
d. To find the number of hours needed to travel 330 km.

f ( x)=60 x Given function
330=60 x Substitute 330 to f(x)
330 60 x
= Divide both sides by 60
60 60
5.5= x Simplify
Thus, Fernan should travel for 5.5 hours or 5 hours and 30 minutes to
reach his hometown.
