" y equals 4 equals 3 " is a mathematically meaningless statement, that
doesn't lend itself to any standard operations or productive discussion.
When equation of line is y=-4x+3, Gradient is -4 (as seen from the coefficient of x) and the y-intercept is +3 (point where x=0)

Rearranging the original equation, we get y=-(2/3)x+12. Since 12 is the constant, this is the point that the line of this equation will cut the y-axis if x=0. Therefore, -(2/3) is the gradient and for an equation to produce a parallel line, the gradient must be equal. Summing up, y=-(2/3)+c (where c equals any real number) would be parallel

Gradient of given line is 2.1/5 = 21/50 So gradient (slope) of perpendicular is -50/21 = -2.381 (to 3 dp)
The slope (or gradient) of a vertical or horizontal line is zero.
An equation such as y = mx + c is said to be in standard form. From such an equation, Gradient = coefficient of x = 3

The line described by the equation is a hyperbola and its gradient is different along its length. Its gradient is -10/(5x-3)2 except where x = 3/5 and the curve is not defined. The general form of a parallel curve is y = a + 2/[5(x + b) - 3] where a and b are constants.
It's 2. your equation is y=mx+b, so the gradient, or slope, is the "m" in the equation.
y = 2x + 3
