The vector equation of a line is another form of interpreting a line but now with a different structure called a vector. Again, we will see a parameter in this form. A single parameter indicating that we are representing a linear relationship.

Another form of interpreting the linear relation is with the parametric equation of a line. In this form we have an unknown or parameter value. Depending on how many parameters there are we determine the type of “plane” we have. In our case here we will see one parameter indicating that we have a line.
The scalar equation of a line is another way to represent a linear relationship. Learn more about the scalar form of the equation of a line and practice writing the scalar equation form of a line.
Learn about the symmetric equation of a line and to rewrite the equation of a line into this form.
There is more than one way to write the equation of a line in the Cartesian plane. Learn the different ways. Practice writing the equation of a line in different ways.
Solving linear relationships involves determining what the value of the variable is. I will usually tell students the first step is to move everything with a variable on one side of the equal sign and all the numbers to the other side of the equal sign.
Learn what a linear relation is and how to distinguish a linear relationships from another relationship.
