About Linear Equations:
A linear equation in two variables is of the form: ax + by = c. This type of equation has a solution that is generally reported using an ordered pair (x,y). We can choose a value for one of the variables and solve to find the other. Using this method, we can create a table of ordered pairs that satisfy the equation.
