Understanding Linear Equations and Functions

This video tutorial teaches how to graph equations with one variable by examining solution sets. It explains the concept of ordered pairs and how they relate to solutions of equations. The tutorial distinguishes between functions and non-functions, particularly focusing on lines in the form of x equals a constant and y equals a constant. It provides examples of graphing these lines and concludes with a summary of the key points covered.

What is the primary focus of this lesson?

• Graphing equations with two variables

• Understanding ordered pairs

• Graphing equations with one variable
