Note [Deprecated. The linear element defines the value of a param element at a particular time, relative to the start of the transition or effect that contains the param element. The linear element causes the parameter to make a smooth transition from its previous value to the new value. For an instantaneous jump to a new value, use the at element. Attributes.
More precisely, a linear equation is one that is dependent only on constants and a variable raised to the first power. For example, y=6x+2 is linear because it has no squares, cubes, square roots, sines, etc.inear equations are often written with more than one variable, often x and y. Such equations will have many possible combinations of x and y that work. When those points (known as coordinates) are plotted on an x-y axis, they will form a straight line.
