Any straight line graph has a constant gradient, which is calculated by the change in 𝑦 divided by the change in 𝑥, along any section of the graph. The gradient is measuring the steepness of the ...

Parallel lines are a fixed distance apart and will never meet, no matter how long they are extended. Lines that are parallel have the same gradient. The graphs above, \(y = 2x + 1\) and \(y = 2x - 2\) ...

Horizontal lines run left to right, parallel to the horizon, with slope 0 and equation y = k. Vertical lines run top to bottom, perpendicular to the horizon, with undefined slope and equation x = k.
