Linear Equations and Their Graphs

The video introduces systems of linear equations, starting with two variables and extending to three. It explains the standard form of linear equations and how they are graphed in two and three dimensions. The video provides examples of linear equations and their graphical representations, focusing on the concept of planes in 3D space and how they intersect to form solutions.
