The graphs above, \(y = 2x + 1\) and \(y = 2x - 2\) have the same gradient of 2. The lines are parallel. State the equation of a line that is parallel to \(y = 3x + 7\). To be parallel, two lines ...

In order to work with gradients and straight lines successfully, a good understanding of coordinates and linear graphs is needed. The gradient of a line is calculated by dividing the difference in ...
