[A Parallel line is a straight line, opposite to another, that do not intersect or meet.] Ie. Line 1 is Parallel to Line 2. ------------------------------------------------- <Line 1 ------------------------------------------------- <Line 2
The line y = 6 is horizontal and has a slope of zero, as does any line that is parallel to it.
Any line which has a gradient which is not 2 will not be parallel to the line y = 2x + 1.
The transversal is the line that cuts the parallel line.
y = 3x+5 is parallel to y = 3x+7
