A function expresses the relationship between two or more variables. A function can be expressed as a mathematical equation or as a graph. In general, a function expresses a the effect an independent variable has on the dependent variable.

.

For example, in the classic linear function:

  • y = mx + b

x and y are the variables (m is said to be the slope, and b is the constant). This function expresses the mathematical relationship between the variables x and y. In this function, x is said to be the independent variable, and the function destines the y variable to be dependent upon the value of x.
