A linear equation is an algebraic equation where each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and a single variable. It graphs as a straight line!
It's basically math's way of saying 'keep it straight and simple!', giving us a line on a graph.
Linear equations are equations of the first degree, meaning no exponents are higher than one, like y=2x+3. Simple yet powerful!
Y’all, linear equations are the bread and butter of algebra, super straightforward and super useful!
