There are many ways to graph linear equations. One way that will always work it to pick some points, 3 is plenty. Pick and x value, plug it in and then find the y value. You will obtain a set or ordered pairs. Graph these and connect the dots. Voila------------- a line!
No. In the variable x, alone, it is linear. In the variable y, alone, it is linear. But taken together, in x and y, you have a term which contains xy - that is, a term in which the powers of the unknowns add to 2. So the equation is not linear.

x plus 37467 is referred to as a linear equation since it can be plotted in the x-y graph.
Yes, a linear equation in t.
This is a linear equation. The value x = -1 is the solution to this equation.

A linear equation is similar to a linear graph in that key data from the equation is clearly visible on the graph. A linear equation of y = 4x + 5 shows us that the y-intercept (or "b") is +5. This is where our line crosses the y-axis, and provides us with the information that the point (0, 5) exists on our line, making it the easiest point to draw on our graph every time! The equation also shows us that there is a slope (or "m") of 4. This means we must do the long-form of slope, which is "rise over run" or "change in y, divided by change in x". A slope of 4 is written as 4/1, or "four over one", showing we 'rise' 4 units on our graph, and 'run' 1 unit...clearly showing a slope of 4.

You write it as: y = 5x-4 Then you calculate a few sample points, plot them, and draw a straight line through them. Since the equation is linear, two points are enough, in theory, but it is usually recommended to plot a third point, as a verification.
A slanted line on a graph is simply a line segment formed by a linear equation (ex.- y=2x+4) with a slope(y=2x+4) and a y-intercept(y=2x+4). ~Ares

It is a linear equation. The highest power of x in the equation is 1 (3x1-4=12) so its "degree" is 1, and equations of "degree 1" are called linear equations.
if 2y-x=4, than y=1/2*x+2 we can now see that the graph is linear with slope 1/2 and goes through point (0,2)
x = 4 is a straight line that is vertical when plotted on the xy graph, where y is the vertical axis and x is the horizontal axis. A vertical line has an infinite slope; the slope is infinity
y = 4x-3 is already a linear equation. The slope is 4 and the y-intercept is -3
