definition:
- an equation between two variables that will produce a straight line when plotted on a graph
- one value of the variable depends on the value of the other variable
- x is called the Independent Variable and y depends on it so it's called the Dependent Variable
- takes the form of:
1. y = mx + c
2. ax + by + d = 0 (this form is rearranged from the first one) -> mx + by + c = 0
- most linear equations are functions which means that for every value of x, there is one corresponding value of y --> when you assign a value to the independent value of x, you can calculate the value of the corresponding variable of y using the linear equation
