the gradient of a graph at any point.
In mathematics, a constant rate of change is called a slope. For linear functions, the slope would describe the curve of the function. The world "constant" in this context means the slope and therefore angle of the curve will not change.
To intersect, their slopes have to be different. The y-intercept can be anything.
y - 5x is an expression, not an equation. As a result, it cannot describe a line.
Well the run will obviously be 0, but the rise depends on how many spaces it is from bottom to top.
