It is an equation which, if plotted will be represented by a straight line (hence linear).
The word straight doesn't really apply to an equation. However the graph of a linear equation is a straight line.
An example of a linear equation is : y=mx+b.
Yes. That's why it's called a linear equation
No a linear equation are not the same as a linear function. The linear function is written as Ax+By=C. The linear equation is f{x}=m+b.
It appears to be a linear equation in the variable, g.It appears to be a linear equation in the variable, g.It appears to be a linear equation in the variable, g.It appears to be a linear equation in the variable, g.
no one really knows how did it came into use as there is no written evidences.
It is not. It is called a LINEAR equation. This is because the word linear refers to a line and, if the solutions of the equation, in the form of ordered pairs (x,y), were plotted on a Cartesian plane, they would all lie on a straight line.
An equation is linear if the highest power of the unknown in the equation is 1for example an equation with just a variable to the power one such as x, y and so on is linear but one with x2, y2 and above is not linear
Y = 5X - 3It form a linear function; a line.
A linear equation can have only one zero and that is the value of the variable for which the equation is true.
A linear equation has no higher powers than 1. This is linear.
No a linear equation are not the same as a linear function. The linear function is written as Ax+By=C. The linear equation is f{x}=m+b.
