Question

What is a linear equation?

Answer 1

Answer: A linear equation follows a pattern where there is a specific change in y value for every change in x, the general form of the linear equation is as follows:

`y(x)=mx+b\rightarrow(1)`

Where the constant m and b are slope and y-Intercept.

`m=(\Delta y)/(\Delta x)`

The graph of the linear equation with m = 1 and b = 0 is as follows:

`\begin{gathered} m=,b=0 \\ \\ \therefore\Rightarrow \\ \\ y(x)=x \end{gathered}`

Note! For every change in x there is a fixed change in y.
