Step forward to math

Let us know more with Algebra Linear equations

Linear equations in two variables is the equation of the form ax + by = 0 where a and b = 0.
A Linear equation is a first degree algebraic expression with one, two or more variables equated to a constant. Graphically a linear equation with one variable or linear equation in two variable is a straight line whereas linear equation with three variable represents a plane.
A simple linear equation is a statement of equality between two algebraic expressions involving an unknown quantity called the variable. In a linear equation the power of the variable is always equal to 1. The two sides of an equation are called Left-Hand Side (LHS) and Right Hand Side (RHS).They are written on either side of = sign.
The two sides of an equation are like the two pans of a balance.

Basic Equations Concept

The two expressions (LHS and RHS) are equal only for a particular value of the variable (x). These equations are called equations of condition. An equation of condition is generally referred to as an equation.

Solving linear equations in two variables

The process of finding the value of the unknown quantity for which the equation is true, is called solving the equation. The value so found is called the root or solution of the equation.
An equation whose graph is a straight line is called a linear equation. (linear means straight). An equation of degree one is linear.
A linear equation in two variables is of the form ax + by = c,where

Graphing Linear Equations in two Variables

The position of a point in a plane is fixed by selecting two axes of reference which are formed by combining two number lines at right angles so that their zeros coincide.
The horizontal number line is called x-axis and the vertical number line is called y-axis
