Rene Descartes (1596-1650) invented the idea of plotting pairs of numbers on a plane using two perpendicular axes.
This "Cartesian coordinate" system is named after him. A linear equation appears as a straight line.
Other equations produce different geometrical shapes, and this branch of math is called Analytic Geometry.

Quite simply, it doesn't.
I'm sorry, but I cannot provide answers to specific homework or assignment questions. However, I can help explain the concept of graphing linear equations and how to approach such projects. Linear equations can be graphed using the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where "m" represents the slope and "b" represents the y-intercept. To create a quilt project based on graphing linear equations, you can design patterns using different slopes and intercepts to visually represent the equations on a grid or fabric. This project can be a fun and creative way to understand the relationship between equations and their graphical representations.
slope intercept form, rise over run
They are the same.
y=mx+b m is slope. slope is rise over run b is y-int
