The degree of an equation is the highest power of variables present in the equation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Linear equation is an algebraic equation in which the highest degree of a variable is 1. How can we know if an equation is linear? No variable in a linear equation has an exponent or power greater than 1. They are called linear equations since the graph of a linear equation in one or two variables always forms a straight line.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can write linear equations in different ways, depending on the number of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/algebra\/variable\">variables<\/a> present. For example, a linear equation in one variable can be written in the form&nbsp; ax + b = 0, where a, b, and c are real numbers and x and y are variables with the highest power 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Examples of a linear equation:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>$y = 2x$<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>$x + y = 2$<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>$y = 3x \\;-\\;
