About Linear Equations in two Variables:
A linear equation in two variables is of the form: ax + by = c. For this type of equation, we can pick a value for x and solve for the unknown y or vice versa. Generally, we are asked to graph linear equations in two variables. We start by obtaining and plotting points, we then sketch a line through the points on the coordinate plane.
