Linear Equation

• The examples we just looked at have a characteristic in common. Each has the form:

total amount = variable amount + fixed amount

• The examples we just looked at have a characteristic in common. Each has the form:

total amount = variable amount + fixed amount• In general, if a relationship between x and y can be

written as y = mx + b, where m and b are real numbers, then x and y are linearly related.

• The equation y = mx + b is called a linear equation. The graph of a linear equation is a straight line.

• This leads to the following definition:
