A function in mathematics relates one variable to another. In Data Science, it is important to understand the relationship between variables to make predictions.
For instance, consider the relationship between Calorie Burnage (dependent variable) and Average Pulse (independent variable). A simple linear function is often used to express this relationship.
The linear function is typically expressed as:
f(x) = ax + b
Suppose we want to predict calorie burnage based on average pulse using the following function:
f(x) = 2x + 80
Below is a graphical representation of the linear function f(x) = 2x + 80, where the x-axis
represents Average Pulse and the y-axis represents Calorie Burnage.

In this case:
Below is a graphical representation of the function f(x) = 2x + 80. The line shows how the calorie burnage increases as the average pulse increases.
The graph represents the relationship between Average Pulse and Calorie Burnage.
As we increase the average pulse, the calorie burnage increases in a linear fashion, as demonstrated by the upward-sloping line.
