Exploring Two-Variable Linear Equations and Their Graphs

The video introduces linear equations, explaining that they form lines when graphed. It demonstrates graphing linear equations using examples and discusses why they are called linear. The video also covers alternative forms of linear equations and contrasts them with non-linear equations, which do not form lines. Finally, it defines linear equations as those with terms that are constants or variables raised to the first power.

What is the primary reason a linear equation is called 'linear'?

• Because it forms a line on the graph

• Because it has variables raised to the second power

• Because it has no variables

• Because it forms a curve on the graph
