A linear equation is a mathematical equation that represents a straight line when graphed on a coordinate plane. It typically takes the form: \\\[ ax + by + c = 0 \\\] or in slope-intercept form: \\\[ y = mx + b \\\] where: - \\( x \\) and \\( y \\) are the variables. - \\( a \\), \\( b \\), and \\( c \\) are constants (with \\( a \\) and \\( b \\) not both zero).
