The modeling of linear functions is an essential technique for comprehending the linear relationships that exist in various fields of knowledge. In this article, we delve into the efficient use of Maxima software for modeling linear functions. As an open-source computational algebra system, Maxima provides a wealth of resources for symbolic manipulation, numerical computations, and graph generation. The step-by-step guide in this article illustrates how to define linear functions, evaluate expressions at specific points, and create graphs to visualize the outcomes. The article highlights the symbolic accuracy of Maxima and how it is significant in linear function modeling, particularly in fields such as economics, physics, and engineering. It is concluded that mastering the modeling of linear functions using Maxima leads to a deeper understanding of linear relationships, equipping students, researchers, and professionals with the ability to solve real-world problems. Additionally, it provides a robust foundation for exploring other features of Maxima in more extensive mathematical contexts.
