Without the inclusion of an equality sign and not knowing the plus or minus values of the given terms it can't be considered to be a straight line equation
You get a straight line. as in 2x + y. * * * * * Wrong! 2x + y is not a line, it is an expression. The standard form of the equation of a line is y = mx + c where m is the slope. If there is no slope, then m = 0 and so the equation becomes y = c. This is a straight line parallel to the x-axis.
A Y-intercept and the slope. The y-intercept is where the line crosses the Y axis.
You must find the slope, if it is positive, then the line is always increasing. If it is negative, then the line is always decreasing.
A linear equation is, basically, a line. An example is y=2x+3. They are commonly found in the form y=mx+b where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis). A non-linear equation can be many things. Parabolas and exponential equations are not linear.
it means that the line in the linear equation is a vertical line
A linear equation looks like a straight line, it sometimes does slope, but it is straight.

Yes, a linear equation represents a straight line and has a constant slope throughout the entire line. The slope indicates the rate of change between the variables, meaning that for any two points on the line, the slope remains the same. Thus, all linear equations of the same form will have the same slope if their coefficients are consistent.
You can write it either in standard form (ax + by = c) or in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b)
The equation for the slope of a linear equation is Y=Mx+b, where m is the slope of the line, (Rise over run) and where B is the Y-intercept. (Where it crosses the Y axis)
Because a linear equation is, by definition, a straight line. Any line can be defined by selecting any one point on the line and the slope of the line.
If given simply the slope of a line and a point through which it passes, and then told to find the equation of the line, one of the easiest ways of doing so is to use the point-slope formula.

If necessary, rearrange the linear equation so that it is in the slope-intercept form: y = mx + c Then the gradient of the line is m.
