Linearity

Pronunciation: /ˈɫaɪnˈɑɹiˈtaɪ/

Linearity (noun)

  1. The quality of changing in a straight-line way, so equal changes in input give equal changes in output.
  2. A property where two quantities stay proportional, making the relationship easy to predict.
  3. The idea that rules or treatment are applied in a consistent way, without sudden changes.

Examples

  • The graph shows straight-line behavior, which proves linearity.
  • When the points form a straight line, linearity is clear.
