Answer:
A function is an equation that has only one answer for y for every x. A function assigns exactly one output to each input of a speceified type. It is common to name a function either f(x) or g(x) instead of y. f(2) means that we should find the value of our function when x equals 2.
Explanation:
here is a step by step equation:
f(x) = x + 7
if:
x=2
then:
f(2) = 2 + 7 = 9
A function is linear if it can be defined by
f(x) = mx + b
Makes sense? Hope I helped
plus I'm in middle school learning this also.
