A linear equation is an equation that can be written in the form: y=mx+b.
An equation in this form can be graphed on a x/y coordinate plane, and the slope (m) can NOT be a vertical line, additionally it must pass the vertical line test; if a vertical line is drawn, no more than one y point may correspond to any one x point on the graph. The slope produced must be a line, so it must follow that the change in y is constant to the change in x.
Filling up a bath tub w/ water. The amount of water in the tub (graphed along the y-axis) and the amount of time that passes (graphed on x-axis) is constant. Slope (m) is stated to be the volume over time, which would be let's say 5 gallons per minute (y axis / x axis) (rise over run)
Walking a constant speed to school. Distance is y axis, time is x axis. Slope would be distance over time. If you move 2 meters per second, for 2 minutes (120 seconds) then this would produce a linear equation.
MANY examples in everyday life can be graphed as a linear function, but the important qualification is that whatever corresponds to the y axis, such as volume or distance, is constant relative to your x axis, most commonly time (seconds, minutes, hours).
However, in both my examples it's only linear if the change in volume/distance is CONSTANT over the change in time. So, if you fill up the bathtub for 2 minutes, turn it off, then turn it back on, this is not linear. Same goes for walking to school, if you walk at 2 meters per second, then speed up to 4 meters per second, then slow down to 1 meters per second, this is NOT a linear equation or linear graph because the change in y over the change in x is not constant anymore, it's variable.
There are many simple questions in everyday life that can be modelled by linear equations and solved using linear programming.
Linear algebra is used to analyze systems of linear equations. Oftentimes, these systems of linear equations are very large, making up many, many equations and are many dimensions large. While students should never have to expect with anything larger than 5 dimensions (R5 space), in real life, you might be dealing with problems which have 20 dimensions to them (such as in economics, where there are many variables). Linear algebra answers many questions. Some of these questions are: How many free variables do I have in a system of equations? What are the solutions to a system of equations? If there are an infinite number of solutions, how many dimensions do the solutions span? What is the kernel space or null space of a system of equations (under what conditions can a non-trivial solution to the system be zero?) Linear algebra is also immensely valuable when continuing into more advanced math topics, as you reuse many of the basic principals, such as subspaces, basis, eigenvalues and not to mention a greatly increased ability to understand a system of equations.

In construction of a stair If 10 inches per step how many steps to go to a story up or about 10 foot 10 feet is 120 inches Slope is 10 inches 10x = 120 That is a linear equation you then solve in your head the answer is 13 steps

well, if you know all the formulating equations it will make you better at regular equations and regular equations can be used in everyday life

Everyday life has a myriad of examples of science. Computer science is important, as well as medical science. Another is genetics that are assisting the planet in world hunger.
