The linear function that shows the proportional relationship between the distance and time is d = 100t

Linear Function

A linear function is a function that represents a straight line on the coordinate plane. For example, y = 3x - 2 represents a straight line on a coordinate plane and hence it represents a linear function. Since y can be replaced with f(x), this function can be written as f(x) = 3x - 2.

A linear function is of the form f(x) = mx + b where 'm' and 'b' are real numbers. Isn't it looking like the slope-intercept form of a line which is expressed as y = mx + b? Yes, this is because a linear function represents a line, i.e., its graph is a line. Here,

  • 'm' is the slope of the line
  • 'b' is the y-intercept of the line
  • 'x' is the independent variable
  • 'y' (or f(x)) is the dependent variable

From the table given, we can find the slope of the function by using the formula

m = y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁

m = 300 - 200 / 3 - 2

m = 100

To find the y - intercept,

y = mx + c

300 = 100(3) + c

300 = 300 + c

c = 300 - 300

c = 0

The equation that shows the relationship is

d = 100t
