Question 179816: Question: What similarities and differences do you see between functions and linear equations?
Are all linear equations functions?
Please create an equation of a nonlinear function and provide two inputs to evaluate

Linear equations or linear functions are a subset of functions.
Similarities are one unique output for each input and they are continuous by definition.
Yes, all linear equations are functions.

Linear equations take the form

There are many ways to make an equation non-linear.
The simplest may be to change the power of the x exponent.

or as an example,

So if I put in x=1,

and if I put in x=2,

Here's a graph of that non-linear function.
