Y=-3x+4
Gradient, m= -3
Parallel lines have equal gradients;
So, equation II,
y=mx+c
y=-3x+c
Replacing for x and y using point (-4, 6)
6=-3(-4)+c
6=12+c
6-12=c
c=-6
y=-3x-6
Look carefully at the first pair: (−3, 9), (−3, −5) Note that x does not change, tho' y does. This is how we recognize a vertical line (whose slope is undefined). The equation of this vertical line is x = -3.
Looking at the second pair: from (3,4) to (5,6), x increases by 2 and y by 2; thus, the slope is m = rise/run = 2/2 = 1.
Third pair: as was the case with the first pair, x does not change here, and thus the equation of this (vertical) line is x=0 (which is the y-axis). The slope is undefined.
