ax = c equivalent to
ax + b = 0?
ax = c is equal to ax + b = 0 if b = -c.
The most basic equation of a linear function (basic algebra)
y = mx + b
Where m is the slope of the line and b it is the y-intercept.
OR you can write it in "function" form, same thing just different format or words
f(x) = mx + b "function of x" equals m*x + b
pick x = 5... so in words... function of x when x = 5
f(5) = m(5) + b
Here's a little practice if you want. You can play with the variables and see how it shifts the line (linear function)
