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.
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
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.
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.
