Any
line that has a slope of 5 is parallel to the above given line. Using
the standard slope-intercept form of the straight line equation, the
equation is in the form of
y = 5x + b
where b = any constant.
<< work out the gradient of the line: y+2x =6 >>
Rewriting the above in the standard slope-intercept form of the straight line equation,
y = -2x + 6
hence the gradient (or the slope) is -2.
Hope this helps.
