what is a linear equation?(:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A first degree function, meaning the highest power of x is one. On a graph, it's a line with a constant slope.

Lol y=x-2 is linear because there is no power on the x. Y=(x^2)-2 Is NOT linear because x is squared, and it is a quadratic. Ie, the degree, or highest power of x is greater than one.
