## 2. Referencing an Equation
To reference an equation, you need to define a label when creating the equation and refer to it elsewhere in your text using `{eq}`:
7. Now we will test our knowledge using an equation. Similar to the code below, create an equation using $$ and identify it using a label within the brackets.
```md
$$ F = m \cdot a$$ (eq:Newton)
```
This will display as follows:
$$ F = m \cdot a$$ (eq:Newton)
8. In this step, we will use the three referencing methods discussed above to reference this equation as follows:
```md
```{math}
:label: eq-example
E = mc^2
```
```
You can then reference this equation using:
```md
Equation {eq}`eq-example`
Refer to Equation {eq}`eq:Newton`
Refer to the {eq}'above equation <eq:Newton>'
Refer to [this equation](eq:Newton)
```
These will display as:
Refer to Equation {eq}`eq:Newton`
Refer to the {eq}'above equation <eq:Newton>'
Refer to [this equation](eq:Newton)
