Understanding Linear Functions and Relationships

The video tutorial introduces linear functions, explaining that they are equations whose graphs form straight lines. It covers the concepts of independent and dependent variables, with the independent variable graphed on the x-axis and the dependent variable on the y-axis. The tutorial includes an example using the volume of air in a balloon over time to illustrate how linear functions work. The video concludes with a summary of the key points discussed.

What is the main topic discussed in the video?

• Exponential growth
