Linear Equations

Linear Equations

Linear equations are equations where the highest power of the variable is 1. They form straight lines when graphed and are fundamental to understanding algebraic relationships.

Solving Linear Equations in One Variable

Master techniques for solving linear equations with one variable, including equations with variables on both sides, equations with parentheses, and equations with fractions.

Graphing Linear Equations

Learn to graph linear equations using various methods: plotting points, using slope-intercept form, and using x and y intercepts. Understand how the equation relates to the graph.

Slope and Y-Intercept

Understand slope as the rate of change and y-intercept as the starting value. Learn to find slope from two points, from a graph, and from an equation.

Writing Linear Equations

Learn to write linear equations in various forms: slope-intercept form, point-slope form, and standard form. Understand when each form is most useful.

Systems of Linear Equations

Introduction to solving systems of two linear equations using graphing, substitution, and elimination methods.
