What is the linear equation for which and

The general form of a linear function is:



So, means that we have to substitute, in the general form,
the unknown with the value .




now do the same thing with the following


in order to find the function , we have to determine the unknown
coefficients and .

now subtract from the ,




With the known value of , we are going in any of the equations above,
substitute and find out the value of unknown.






Now we could write down the linear function :
