Linear Equations and Their Solutions

This video tutorial covers the concept of slope, its calculation, and its role in proportional relationships. It explains how to graph linear equations using the slope-intercept form and solve linear equations with variables on both sides. The tutorial also introduces systems of linear equations, demonstrating how to find solutions graphically and algebraically using substitution and elimination methods.
