  • The general form of a linear equation is ax + by = c, where a and b are non-zero coefficients.
  • Solving a linear equation involves using inverse operations to isolate the variable.
  • Linear equations can have one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions.
  • If the graphs intersect at one point, it represents the solution to the system.
  • To solve an equation with two variables, we can use substitution or elimination methods.
  • Substitution method: Replace one variable with its equivalent expression from another equation.
  • Elimination method: Add/subtract equations to eliminate one variable.
  • The axis of symmetry passes through the x-coordinate of the vertex (h).
  • Linear Equation Formula
    y = mx + c
  • Quadratic Equation Formula

    ax^2 + bx + c = 0
  • y = mx + c
    y = slope times x plus y-intercept
  • Distance Formula
    distance between (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
