How do contour lines show elevation, slope, and relief?

A contour line is a line of 'equal height': every point on a contour is the same height above sea level.

The closer any two contour lines are the steeper the hill is: and the further apart they are the move level the ground.

If a group of contour lines suddenly move to form a V shape then the hill either has a promontory sticking out from it or a valley in it.

Find the equation of the line that is parallel to this line and passes through the point

timama [110]

Answer:The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is y=2x+5. The slope of the parallel line is the same: m=2. So, the equation of the parallel line is y=2x+a. To find a, we use the fact that the line should pass through the given point: 5=(2)⋅(−3)+a.
