Answer 1

The function \( f(x) = bx \) is classified as an **odd** function.

To determine if a function is odd, you check if the following condition holds:
\[
f(-x) = -f(x)
\]

For \( f(x) = bx \):
\[
f(-x) = b(-x) = -bx = -f(x)
\]

Since the condition for an odd function is satisfied, \( f(x) = bx \) is indeed an odd function.

So the answer is **odd**.
