It is not safe to assume that linear equations have a domain! The domain is the range of numbers which x can equal. There are two different domains that linear equations can have.

Although linear equations are always shaped as a line, usually giving an infinite range of x, there is one exception. If the equation is x=1, x=2, and so on, x can only be one number, and therefore the domain only contains one number.

However, even when the x is not a constant, the domain of all other linear equations is (-infinity, infinity), since x can be any number.
