To find the linear function you first need to put the equation into standard slope intercept form which is y=mx+b. m represents the slope and b represents where the line intercepts the y axis.
To figure it out you need to solve for y.
y-5=3(x-2)
Expand 3(x-2) to 3x-6.
y-5=3x-6
Isolate the y by adding 5 to both sides, giving you y=3x-1.
Make sure you convert these numbers into one unit. Convert everything to yard. Just convert the feet and inches in yard since it's the biggest unit, and then add them together. You should get a fraction not a whole number.
