Bosco · Answer 1

The equation "y=mx+b" is the slope-intercept forme of a line with slope "m" and y-interceptept (0, b)

In this case:

y=2x+5;

the slope "m" will be equato to : "2".

Answer: the slope is 2.

Marina Cummings · Answer 2

Parallel lines have equal gradients;

So,

y=2x+5

The gradient is 2

The parallel line also has a gradient of 2
