Total Trivia:
                1. Linear Equation: An equation whose solutions form
              a straight line on a coordinate plane.
          2. Linear Inequality: A mathematical sentence using
              <, >, <, or > whose graph is a region with a
             straight-line boundary. 
          3. x-coordinate: The first number in an ordered pair;
              it tells the distance to move right and left from
              the origin.
          4. y-coordinate: The second number in an ordered
              pair; it tells the distance to move up and down
              from the origin.
          5. x-intercept: The x-coordinate of the point where
              the graph of a line crosses the x-axis.
          6. y-intercept: The y-coordinate of the point where
              the graph of a line crosses the y-axis.
          7. Slope: A measure of the steepness of a line on a
              graph; the rise divided by the run.
          8. Slope-Intercept Form: A linear equation written
              in the form of y = mx + b, where m represents   
              slope and b represents the y-intercept.
          9. Formula of a Line: A linear equation written in
              the form of ax + by = c.
         10. Origin: The point where the x-axis and y-axis
               intersect on the coordinate plane; (0,0).
