Linear Equations and Functions

Understanding and Solving Linear Equations

Linear equations are equations where the highest power of the variable is one. They form straight lines when graphed.

Steps to Solve

  1. Isolate the variable by using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.
  2. Keep the equation balanced by performing the same operation on both sides.

Functions

A function is a rule that assigns each input exactly one output. You can represent functions with tables, graphs, or equations.

Why It Matters

Linear equations and functions are used to predict outcomes, analyze trends, and solve everyday problems.

Examples

  • Finding how many movie tickets you can buy with \$30 if each ticket costs \$7.

  • Graphing the relationship between hours worked and money earned.
