The key characteristic that is NOT true of a linear function is:

Maximum number of vertices is one.

Linear functions are represented by straight lines and do not have vertices. A vertex typically refers to a point where a curve changes direction, which does not apply to a linear function. Hence, they have no vertices at all.
