An equation is a mathematical sentence with an equal sign = between the two expressions.
A coefficient is the numerical factor that appears before a varible: y=kx.
Equations of the form y=kx represents linear relationships, where k is called the .
Given y=3x. Substitute the value of x to find the value of y.
