Linear means referring to a line, so a line must be linear!

Every point on any line is a solution to the equation that defines the line.

An equation where the graph of all solutions lies on a line?

If it is a straight line, then the equation is linear.


What does the graph of a line represent?

It represents all solutions to the linear equation.


What types of solutions can be found for linear equation?

A linear equation has a n infinite number of solutions. The coordinates of each point on the line is a solution.


Why are linear equation and linear inequalities not solved in the same manner?

Although there are similarities, the solutions to a linear equation comprise all points on one line: a one-dimensional object. The solutions to a linear inequality comprise all points on one side [or the other] of a line: a two-dimensional object.


Can a pair of linear equation have exactly two solutions?

No. A pair of linear equation can have 0 solutions (they are parallel), or one solution (they cross at one point) or an infinite number of solutions (they represent the same line).


Can linear equations have more than one solutions?

No, a linear equation in two variables typically has one unique solution, which represents the intersection point of two lines on a graph. However, if the equation represents the same line (as in infinitely many solutions) or if it is inconsistent (no solutions), then the type of solutions can vary. In general, a single linear equation corresponds to either one solution, no solutions, or infinitely many solutions when considering the same line.


An equation whose solutions form a straight line on a coordinate plane?

A linear equation.


How do you identify 2 solutions to a linear equation?

A linear equation is that of a straight line. Any one of the infinitely many points on the line will be solutions. If the equation is in terms of the variables x and y, just pick any two values of x, solve for y and the results will be the coordinates of two solutions.


What is 2x-3y equals -2?

This is an equation of a line. There are an infinite number of solutions which are all points on the line. It is a linear equation.


Why are linear equations called linear equations?

Because, if plotted on a Cartesian plane, all solutions to the equation would lie on a straight line.


Why a linear equation of two variables has an infinite number of solutions?

A linear equation in two variables represents a straight line on a Cartesian plane. Each point on this line corresponds to a unique pair of values for the two variables that satisfy the equation. Since there are infinitely many points on a line, there are also infinitely many solutions to the equation. Thus, any linear equation in two variables has an infinite number of solutions.


How do you solve a linear system?

you have to look at the graph. find where the line crosses the x and y axis' and there is your solutions.
