These equations contain terms that are either a constant and/or the product of a constant and a single variable to the first power. A linear equation can have more than one variable. Let's look at a few examples:
Before you get started, let's just do a quick review of how to graph points on a coordinate plane! Brief Overview of Graphing on a Coordinate Plane
If you haven't graphed points on a coordinate plane in a while, it might be a good idea to practice before you start the Algebra lessons. Practice Graphing Points on a Coordinate PlaneGraph the following points on the coordinate plane: 1. (3,5) 2. (-2,-1) 3. (-4, 1) 4. (0,-5) 5. (6, 0)
Answer Key to Graphing Points
