Given:
A line has a gradient of -2
A line that is parallel to this will have a gradient of ..... .
To find:
The missing value.
Solution:
Gradient of a line is also known as slope of the line.
We know that the slopes of the parallel lines are equal.
A line has a gradient of -2. So, the slopes of all the lines which are parallel to this line have a gradient of -2.
Therefore, the missing value is -2.
