table or graph to represent and describe a pattern
or linear relationship.

Tips to Remember:
Linear Equations
The definition of a linear equation
is an equation of the form y = ax + b, where a and b can
be any real number. When the ordered pairs (x, y) that
make the equation true for specific assigned values of
a and b are graphed, the result is a straight line.
Nonlinear Equations
A nonlinear equation is an equation
that when graphed the solution is not a line. Most often
a nonlinear equation will contain a variable with an
exponent other than one.
