An equation that forms a straight line on a graph.
More precisely, a linear equation is one that is dependent only on constants and a variable raised to the first power. For example, y=6x+2 is linear because it has no squares, cubes, square roots, sines, etc. Linear equations can always be manipulated to take this form:
ax+b=0
You won't always see linear equations written exactly like that, but keep in mind that we can manipulate equations to put them in a particular form if necessary.
Linear equations are often written with more than one variable, typically x and y. Such equations will have many possible combinations of x and y that work. When those points (known as coordinate pairs) are plotted on an x-y axis, they will form a straight line. Let's take a look at this graphically below. The two equations drawn are linear. Note that one is in the form y=3 (it is dependent on just a constant, 3), and the other equation is y=0.75x−0.5 (a linear term and a constant).

OK, the square root of 250 is 15.811 . . .
but since this can't be expressed as a decimal for your purposes, let's try factoring. Since 250 ends in a zero, only numbers 5 or 0 or those ending in 5 or 0 could be factors.
The square root of 250 can be factored into the square root of 25 and the square root of 10.
The square root of 25 is exactly 5, and the exact square root of 10 is another decimal, so your simplified answer can be expressed as 5 times the square root of 10.
