The word linear means in a straight line. If the graph is a line, it is linear. Also, linear equations are of the first order; they contain a variable but not a square (or higher power) of a variable. If the equation contains x2 it is not linear.
You will need to use your brain to figure that out. Different word problems need different equations.

The word "Linear" means "of degree one".
Eh.... it really depends on how well you can handle word problems actually. Think of most physics problems as the word problems in algebra you have tried. The math should be okay for you to handle, as long as all the equations you will learn are in discrete form rather than differential form, which requires calculus. But really, being good at math is definitely a hand up in learning physics, if not a requirement. Whenever you've heard the term "mechanics" associated with some level of physics, they are referring to the mathematics. Everything is explained using equations and then interpreting those equations based on the problem you are trying to solve. Eventually, if you stick in long enough, everything boils down to differential equations and must be solved using calculus. But EVEN THEN, alegrba is paramount in reducing equations and solving for unknown variables. I think you'll do just fine. Just imagine how the students are going to feel that hate math lol
Solving linear equations is hard sometimes.
It really is utilized to solve specific variablesIt really is utilized to rearrange the word.
One option is "cannot exist". The equation is linear and linear equations do not have vertices.

Well chemical equations can help us understand how a certain substance is made and what combines with what to make it using symbol and word equations but if you dont know your elements it can be a problem
If there are two variables, you'll usually need two equations in the two variables, to be able to find a specific solution. How you write the equation depends on the specific problem. In general, it requires some practice, to be able to convert a word problem into mathematical equations.
A system of equations is two or more equations that share at least one variable. Once you have determined your equations, solve for one of the variables and substitute in that solution to the other equation.

When a math problem's answer is "undefined", that means that it's an impossible answer, such as 3/0. A number can't be divided by zero because 3/0, as a word problem, would be, "How many times does zero go into three?" Since there is no real answer, they just call it undefined. Note that it can only happen with division problems, and not multiplication, addition or subtraction problems, since 3*0 is 0, 3+0 is 3 and 3-0 is 3. An undefined answer can also be in linear equations, if the line is flat (horizontal), then the slope is 0, or undefined. Simplified answer: if any number is divided by zero, it is undefined, even 0/0. In equations with slopes and lines (linear equations), if a line is horizontal, it's slope is undefined.

One way to change the root word "linear" to mean not linear is by adding the prefix "non-" to it, resulting in the word "nonlinear."
