All linear relationships have a variable and a constant. They can be expressed in a graph where the two are connected with a straight line. It can also be expressed in a mathematical format.
:
The constant is a number (5, 7, 12, whatever) and the variable is usually x and/or y.
:
Take for example: y = 2x+6 The 2 is called a coefficient, it modifies the variable x, and 6 is a constant.
