How do you determine if a graph represents a linear equation?

Back

A graph represents a linear equation if it forms a straight line without any curves or breaks.

What is the significance of the coefficients in a linear equation?

Back

The coefficients in a linear equation determine the slope and y-intercept, which affect the line's steepness and position.
