Imagine yourself as a teacher. Explain how the graph of the function f(x) = ax + b depends about different values of a and b. (assume that your students listen this class for the first time) Can the graph of the given function ever be the y axis? What are the similarities and differences between the given function and the equation ax + b = 0 ?
