Linear Function:

A linear function is any equation that can be written in the form y = mx + b, where m represents slope and b represents y-intercept.

Slope:

The slope of a line measures how steeply it inclines or declines. In this case, our slope would be equal to 3.

Y-intercept: The y-intercept is where our line intersects with the y-axis. In this case, our y-intercept would be -2.
