Suppose that the weight (in pounds) of an airplane is a linear function of the total amount of fuel (in gallons) in its tank. When graphed, the function gives a linewith a slope of 6.5 With 54 gallons of fuel in its tank, the airplane has a weight of 2251 pounds. What is the weight of the plane with 82 gallons of fuel in its tank?

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
