in the equation y=mx+b where y is the y-axis, x is the x-axis, m is the slope, and b is the y intercept. You can also write the equation in standard fore, or point-slope form.
When an equation is graphed and produces a straight line, it is referred to as a linear equation. Linear equations typically take the form (y = mx + b), where (m) represents the slope and (b) is the y-intercept. The straight line indicates a constant rate of change between the variables.
Because if you plot the point on a graph that the equation generates, it will produce a straight line(Linear). NB An eq'n of the form Ax^(2) + Bx + C = 0 is NOT linear, because in plotting the points on a graph it produces a curved bowl/umbrella.
a linear equation.
A linear equation.
Without an equality sign it is not an equation but when a straight line equation is parallel to another straight line the slope remains the same but the y intercept is different

It is a straight line equation.

The word straight doesn't really apply to an equation. However the graph of a linear equation is a straight line.
If it is a straight line, then the equation is linear.

yes
A linear equation looks like a straight line, it sometimes does slope, but it is straight.
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
