Linear Equations
A linear equation is a straight line from one point to another, which can be expressed through an equation or a graph.
The equation for a linear function is y = mx + b.
- 'y' is the y-coordinates on the slope
- 'mx' is the slope, or rate of which the equation is headed. This can be calculated using (y2-y1/x2-x1), where the numerator is the vertical shift, while the denominator is the horizontal shift.
- 'b' is the y-intercept, or where the linear function meets the y-axis.
