Our teacher already knows there is a positive relationship between how much time was spent on an essay and the grade the essay gets, but we’re going to need some data to demonstrate this properly.

An equation of the form \(y = mx + c\) where \(m\) and \(c\) are numbers, gives a straight line when values of \(x\) and corresponding values of \(y\) are plotted on a grid. A straight line is a ...

Equations that have more than one unknown can have an infinite number of solutions. For example, \(2x + y = 10\) could be solved by: \(x = 1\) and \(y = 8\) \(x = 2\) and \(y = 6\) \(x = 3\) and \(y = ...
