Work out the gradient of a line that is parallel to - 2x+y-5=0

gradient = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope - intercept form is

y = mx + c (m is the gradient and c the y - intercept)

Given

- 2x + y - 5 = 0 (add 2x and 5 to both sides)

y = 2x + 5 ← in slope - intercept form

with gradient m = 2

Parallel lines have equal gradients

Gradient of parallel line is m = 2
