linear equations
First-degree algebraic expressions
Linear equations are algebraic equations where variables appear only to the first power—no squares, cubes, or higher exponents.
The graph of a linear equation in two variables is always a straight line: The linear equation y = 2x + 3 crosses the y-axis at 3.
Systems of linear equations can be solved to find where lines intersect.
Linear equations model relationships where change happens at a constant rate.
