Linear Equation: Submitted By: Angelene L. Calingasan

This document defines and provides examples of linear equations. It states that a linear equation is an algebraic equation where each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and a single variable. It describes the general form of a two-dimensional linear equation as Ax + By = C, where A and B are not both equal to zero. The document provides three examples of linear equations in two variables written in general form and shows how one can be rewritten by moving both variables to the left side of the equation. It clarifies that variables in linear equations cannot have exponents, square roots, cube roots, or other non-linear functions.

LINEAR EQUATION
 In this lesson, you will learn about
linear equation and how to solve
general form.
WHAT IS LINEAR EQUATION ?

 A linear equation is an algebraic equation in which each term is either a


constant or the product of a constant and (the first power of) a single variable
(however, different variables may occur in different terms). A simple example
of a linear equation with only one variable, x, may be written in the form:
ax + b = 0, where a and b are constants and a ≠ 0. The constants may be
numbers, parameters, or even non-linear functions of parameters, and the
distinction between variables and parameters may depend on the problem
FORMS FOR TWO-DIMENSIONAL LINEAR EQUATIONS:
Linear equations can be rewritten using the laws of elementary algebra into several different forms.

 General (or standard) form


In the general (or standard) form the linear equation is written as:
Ax + By = C
where A and B are not both equal to zero. The equation is usually written so that A ≥ 0, by
convention. The graph of the equation is a straight line, and every straight line can be
represented by an equation in the above form. If A is nonzero, then the x-intercept, that is, the
x-coordinate of the point where the graph crosses the x-axis (where, y is zero), is C/A. If B is
nonzero, then the y-intercept, that is the y-coordinate of the point where the graph crosses the
y-axis (where x is zero), is C/B, and the slope of the line is −A/B. The general form is sometimes
written as:
Ax + By + C = 0
EXAMPLES OF LINEAR EQUATION IN TWO VARIABLES:

Equation is in Ax + By = C
2x + 4y = 8 form

Rewrite with both variables


6y = 3 – x on left side … x + 6y = 3

Multiply both sides of the


-2x + y = 5 equation by -1 … 2x – y = -5
BUT THE VARIABLES (LIKE "X" OR "Y") IN
LINEAR EQUATIONS DO NOT HAVE:
 Exponents (like the 2 in x2)

 Square roots, cube roots, etc

Examples: These are NOT linear equations:

y2 − 2 = 0

3√x − y = 6

𝑥 3 /2 = 16
