Question

For the equation $y=f\left(x\right)$, a function is said to be a linear function if the exponents on the $x$'s are either 0 or

• A. 1

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1
A linear function is a function whose graph is a straight line.

When the exponent on the $x$'s are either $0$ or $1$ in the equation $y=f\left(x\right)$ then the function is said to be a linear function.

For eg. $y=x$ which can be written as $y=x^1$. The exponent on $x$ is $1$. $\therefore$ it is a linear function.
