A linear function is represented by the function,

f(x) = x + c

Where x has a degree of 1, and there could be a constant c, or there could also be no constant c. It is considered to be a linear function, since its visualization in the graph when you plot it is like a straight horizontal or diagonal line. It varies differently from a quadratic function determined by its 2nd degree, since its shape in the graph is a parabola.
