An algebraic equation of the form y=mx+b is referred to as a linear equation. m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept, and all that is involved is a constant and a first-order (linear) term.
The variables in the preceding equation are y and x, and it is occasionally referred to as a "linear equation of two variables."
