In order to be a linear function, a graph must:
**B be a line.**
Additionally, a linear function also has inputs and outputs (F) and must pass the vertical line test (G), as it ensures that for every input value (x), there is not more than one output value (y). However, the defining characteristic of a linear function is that it represents a straight line in its graph.
So, while B is the most direct answer, F and G are also relevant characteristics of linear functions.
