Question

What is the highest degree of a linear equation?

Answer 1

The highest degree of a linear equation:

• The degree of the linear equation is the highest power of the variable in the linear equation.
• The standard form linear equation of two variables is $Ax+By=C$, where $x$ and $B$ are coefficients of $x$ and $y$.
• The standard form linear equation of one variable is $Ax=B$, where $x$ is the coefficient of $x$.
• The variable in the linear equation has degree $1$. Therefore, a linear equation is also known as a one-degree equation.
