Question

I am having a hard time on linear equations. what are they?

Answer 1

Linear equations are equations which depict a straight line given from two variables (typically x and y.).

The general format of such an equation is:

\[y = mx + b\]

Where,
m = the slope
b = the y intercept

The slope is given from:
\[m = \frac{ y_{2} - y_{1} }{ x_{2} - x_{1} }\]

And the y intercept is the point at which the straight line crosses the y axis.
