Linear Function
Linear functions are those whose graph is a straight line.
A linear function has one independent variable and one dependent variable.

x-intercept and y-intercept
The x intercept is the point where the line crosses the x axis. At this point y = 0.
The y intercept is the point where the line crosses the y axis. At this point x=0
