The line is shifted up by two units.
The equation of a line can be given as follows: y = mx + b, where the values of x and y are coordinates falling somewhere along the line (respectively the "abscissa" and "ordinate" of the ordered pair, if memory serves), m is the slope of the line (a line with no slope, i.e. m=0, is horizontal, since the equation for any line with zero slope will return a value of 0 for any given y), and b is the "y-intercept", i.e. the point where the line crosses the y-axis (thus, to find the y-intercept of a line, assign y a value of 0 and solve for b).

What happens when y equals x is changed to y equals x plus 2?
The whole line 'shifts up' by two units, and is parallel to the original line (same slope)
What is x plus y equals 11?
It is an equation of a straight line.
What is the slope of any line parallel to the line 9x plus 4y equals 7?
-9/4 or -2.25
What happens to the graph of a line y equals mx plus b if b decreases?
The line keeps the same slope that it had originally, but it slides straight down, and crosses the y-axis at a lower number. (That number is actually equal to 'b'.)
Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the line y equals 2x plus 1?
The slope of the perpendicular is -(1/2) .
What happens to the line y equals -6x-2 when it is changed to y equals -6x plus 6?
