Hi, there--
THE PROBLEM:
How do you write a linear equation?
A SOLUTION:
There are many different linear equations, but they all have this kind of form:
Ax + By = C
A, B, and C are numbers.
A and B can be any number, but they can't both be zero in the same equation.
C can be any number.
Here are some examples:
3x + 2y = 10
4x - 6y = -1
If A is 0, then there is no x in the equation. This is the equation for a horizontal line.
Some examples would be
2y = 5
y = -300
If B is 0, the there is no y in the equation. This is the equation for a vertical line.
Some examples,
x = 3
-7x = 2/3
There is a lot more to linear equations, but this will get you started. If you have a specific
problem you are trying to figure out, feel free to email me.
Hope this helps!
