Why is a degree 1 polynomial equation ax plus by equals 0 called a linear equation?
A linear equation is one which represents a straight line. When drawn (y plotted against x), a degree 1 polynomial produces a straight line.
When an equation forms a straight line what is it?
a linear equation.
Is an equation whose grap is a straight line?
A linear equation.
What is the slope of a line that is parallel to the line represented by the equation y-5x5?
Without an equality sign it is not an equation but when a straight line equation is parallel to another straight line the slope remains the same but the y intercept is different
What do a linear equation look like?
A linear equation looks like a straight line, it sometimes does slope, but it is straight.

A linear equation is one which represents a straight line. When drawn (y plotted against x), a degree 1 polynomial produces a straight line.
What type of function that graphs into straight line?
It is a straight line equation.
When an equation forms a straight line what is it?
a linear equation.
Is a linear equation straight?
The word straight doesn't really apply to an equation. However the graph of a linear equation is a straight line.
An equation where the graph of all solutions lies on a line?
If it is a straight line, then the equation is linear.
Is an equation whose grap is a straight line?
A linear equation.

What is x plus y equals 11?
It is an equation of a straight line.
How do you write the point-slope formula for the equation of a straight line and explain how to use it to obtain the equation of a straight line?
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
What is the domain and range of y equals 4x-1?
