A linear function is an algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and (the first power of) a single variable. For example, a common equation,
y
=
m
x
+
b
, (namely the slope-intercept form, which we will learn more about later) is a linear function because it meets both criteria with
x
and
y
as variables and
m
and
b
as constants. It is linear: the exponent of the
x
term is a one (first power), and it follows the definition of a function: for each input (
x
) there is exactly one output (
y
). Also, its graph is a straight line.
On January 31, Jean Marie’s business receives a bill for that month’s utilities in the amount of $500. Jean sets it aside because she does not plan to pay the bill until its due date of February 15. What effect, if any, does this event have on the company’s accounting equation as of January 31?
Solution: The event that Jean does not plan to pay the bill until due date of February 15 must be recorded. Recording this event would increase the liabilities and decrease equity on January 31.
Answer:
We have that 
Step-by-step explanation:
We have just to replace n=10 on the general equation
