In a simplified linear equation, the variable typically has an exponent of 1. This means the equation can be represented in the standard form \( y = mx + b \), where \( m \) is the slope, \( b \) is the y-intercept, and \( x \) is the variable raised to the first power. Linear equations describe a straight line when graphed.
