Term
| linear equation in standard form |
|
Definition
The form ax + by = c of a linear equation. Each side of the equation is a linear expression.The equation
6x + 3y = 12 is in standard form.Although the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, is common and useful, it is not generally considered the “standard
form.” |

Term
|
Definition
A mathematical sentence, such as
ax + by + c , dx + ey + f, which expresses a relationship of inequality between two quantities, each of which is a linear expression. For example,
y > -2x + 4, and 6x + 3y < 12 are linear
inequalities, as are x < 3 and 2x + 3 > 7x |

Term
|
Definition
A point on a line segment that is
equidistant from the endpoints of the segment. |
|
|
Term
| system of linear equations |
|
Definition
Two or more linear equations that represent constraints on the variables
used. A solution of a system of equations is a pair of values that satisfies all the equations in the system. For example, the ordered pair (1, 2) is the solution of the system because it satisfies both equations |
