What do all members of the family of linear functions f(x)=1m(x+3) have in common?
dsp73
All linear functions have in common...
1. Their highest exponent is 1.
2. The graphs of the equations are lines.

When finding things in common between different types of functions, you always have to look at the two sides of math; geometry and algebra. Geometry is all the graphs, and algebra is the equations.

I hope this helps!
