All those infinite (x, y) pairs? When you plot them on a graph, they draw a straight line. That’s why these are called linear equations. But don’t get scared—it’s just a visual summary of your recipe.
Every point on that line is a possible universe where x and y hold hands. So next time you see an equation with two variables, don’t think “work.” Think: “I have a magic recipe that can create endless, unique pairs of numbers.” It’s not a problem—it’s a playground.
And you’re the one who gets to slide down the slide.
