A linear equation is an equation whose solutions fall on a line on the coordinate plane. All solutions of a particular linear equation fall on the line, and all the points on the line are solutions of the equation. To find a solution that lies between two points (x 1, y 1 ) and (x 2, y 2 ), choose an x-value between x 1 and x 2 and find the corresponding y-value.
