This is called standard form. "a" must be postive, "a, b, and c" must be whole numbers. There can not be common factors other than 1 for "a, b, and c."

Is x plus y2 equals 25 a linear equation?
No, not if the y is squared. When graphed the equation will not form a straight line.
What is the name for the linear equation y equals mx plus b?
That is called slope - intercept form
Why is an equation written in the form Ax plus By equals c called a linear equation?
The equation contains variables which are only raised to the first power.
What is the linear equation of y equals 2x plus 1?
y = 2x + 1 IS a linear equation!
Is y equals 5x2 plus 2 a linear equation?
Assuming that the 2 in "5x2" is a power (5x2), then no, this is not a linear equation. It is a parabolic equation.
Is x plus y2 equals 25 a linear equation?
No, not if the y is squared. When graphed the equation will not form a straight line.
What is the name for the linear equation y equals mx plus b?
That is called slope - intercept form
The formula y equals mx plus b is known as?
A linear equation in the slope intercept form or the standard form.
Why is an equation written in the form Ax plus By equals c called a linear equation?
The equation contains variables which are only raised to the first power.
What is the linear equation of y equals 2x plus 1?
y = 2x + 1 IS a linear equation!
What kind of equation is ax plus b equals 0 in?
A linear equation.
Is y equals x2 plus 2 a linear equation?
No, y=x^2 + 2 is a quadratic equation. A linear equation is one in the form y=mx+b. A quadratic has a form y=ax^2+bx+c.
Is x plus 3xy equals 9 a linear equation?
no
Is 3xy plus 4y equals 7 a linear equation?
No, it is not.
Is 8t plus 4 equals 76 an equation?
Yes, a linear equation in t.
Is 2x equals 3y plus 1 a linear equation?
Yes it is, since it can be represented in the form y = mx + b
Is y equals 5x2 plus 2 a linear equation?
Assuming that the 2 in "5x2" is a power (5x2), then no, this is not a linear equation. It is a parabolic equation.
