A linear equation is an algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and a single variable. In other words, the variable(s) in a linear equation have an exponent of 1 and are not multiplied together. The general form of a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.
To solve a linear equation, you must isolate the variable on one side of the equals sign. This can be done by performing the same operation on both sides of the equation, such as adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing. Once the variable is isolated, you can then solve for its numerical value.
A table requirement in linear equations refers to the information needed to create a table of values for the equation. This typically includes a list of x-values and the corresponding y-values when substituting those x-values into the equation. These values can then be used to graph the linear equation.
To solve a linear equation using a table, you can plug in different x-values into the equation to determine the corresponding y-values. Once you have a set of ordered pairs, you can plot them on a coordinate plane and connect them to create a line. The solution to the equation is the point where the line intersects the x-axis, which is the value of x that makes the equation true.
Solving linear equations has many real-life applications, such as calculating the cost of a phone plan based on the number of minutes used, determining the amount of interest earned on a savings account, or finding the optimal production level for a business to maximize profits. Linear equations can also be used to model and predict relationships between different variables in fields such as science, economics, and engineering.
