What is a linear equation?

Back

A linear equation is an equation that makes a straight line when graphed. It can be written in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

How do you find the point of intersection of two linear equations?

Back

To find the point of intersection, solve the two equations simultaneously to find the values of x and y that satisfy both equations.

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, calculated as the rise over run (change in y over change in x).

What does it mean for two lines to be parallel?

Back

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope and will never intersect.

What does it mean for two lines to be perpendicular?

Back

Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1, meaning they intersect at a right angle.

How do you calculate the total cost of renting a car?

Back

The total cost of renting a car can be calculated by adding the fixed fee to the variable cost, which is the cost per mile multiplied by the number of miles driven.
