Solution
\[\text { Here }, \]
\[f\left( x \right) = ax + b\]
\[\text { Let } x_1 , x_2 \text { in R such that } x_1 < x_2 . \text { Then },\]
\[ x_1 < x_2 \]
\[ \Rightarrow a x_1 < a x_2 \left[ \because a>0 \right]\]
\[ \Rightarrow a x_1 + b < a x_2 + b\]
\[ \Rightarrow f\left( x_1 \right) < f\left( x_2 \right)\]
\[ \therefore x_1 < x_2 \]
\[ \Rightarrow f\left( x_1 \right) < f\left( x_2 \right), \forall x_1 , x_2 \in R \]
\[\text { So },f\left( x \right) \text { is increasing on R } .\]
