Question
Is $f(x)=3$ a linear function? If so, what are the slope and the rate of change?
Step 1
A linear function is a function that can be graphically represented in the Cartesian coordinate system as a straight line. It has the general form of $f(x) = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope of the line and $b$ is the y-intercept. Show more…
