2. a style of dance music marked by some of the features of jazz.
The graph of y = 2x+1 is a straight line. 1  When x increases, y increases twice as fast, hence 2x. 2  When x is 0, y is already 1.  So: y = 2x + 1.
A linear equation is, basically, a line. An example is y=2x+3. They are commonly found in the form y=mx+b where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept (where the line crosseâ¦s the y-axis). A non-linear equation can be many things. Parabolas and exponential equations are not linear.
