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 must ...
Mathematicians, it's a rainy day but Susanna Post, the 2021 Arkansas Teacher of the Year, is on the hunt. Can you help in her scavenger hunt to find examples of parallel and perpendicular lines? Rise ...
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.
Whether you are sketching graphs in mathematics, understanding directions in geography, or reading blueprints in design class, horizontal and vertical lines are concepts you cannot avoid. They form ...
