The document discusses rewriting linear equations in the form y=mx+b. It provides an example of rewriting the equation 3x+2y=6 in this form, showing that y=-3/2x + 3. It defines what makes an equation linear and explains that a linear equation can be written in either standard form (Ax + By = C) or slope-intercept form (y = mx + b). Students are assigned to rewrite several sample equations in the form y=mx+b and identify the values of m and b.
