Line 1: {{confuse\|linear map}} [[Image:wiki_linear_function.png\|thumb\|right\|Graph of the linear function: {{math\|1=''y''(''x'') = −''x'' + 2}}]]<!-- people, find an SVG image please instead of this abomination --> In [[calculus]] and related areas of mathematics, a '''linear function''' from the real numbers to the real numbers is a function whose graph (in [[Cartesian ~~coorsinates~~coordinates]] with uniform scales) is a [[line (geometry)\|line]] in the plane.<ref>Stewart 2012, p. 23</ref> Their characteristic property that when the value of the input variable is changed, the change in the output is a constant multiple of the change in the input variable. Linear functions are related to [[linear equation]]s.
