linear
non-linear

This function is linear because it fits the form of a linear equation, which is , where is the slope and is the y-intercept. In this case, the slope is -3 and the y-intercept is 2, meaning it’s a straight line when graphed.

When graphed, you can think of linear functions as a path that goes up or down at a consistent rate, like a smooth slide. There are no twists or turns in a linear function, making it predictable and easy to analyze!
