In math, a linear combination is the sum of multiplying each value in a set by a constant.
For a set { x , y } {\displaystyle \{x,y\)) , the linear combination can be anything in the pattern a ∗ x + b ∗ y {\displaystyle a*x+b*y} .
In this example, a {\displaystyle a} and b {\displaystyle b} are the constants.
