Linear Equations in Maths

Last Updated : 16 May, 2026

A linear equation is one in which the highest power of a variable (like x, y, etc.) is 1. For example, x + 10, y + 1, etc. This means the graph of the equation is a straight line.

Real-Life Examples:

  • Perimeter of a square depends on its side: P = 4s
  • Perimeter of a rectangle (for fixed length l) depends on width: P = 2l + 2w
  • Distance at constant speed depends on time: d = vt
