Parallel lines have the same gradient

Reason For Learning

In many real world situations, it is necessary to construct parallel lines. This means that there are two (or more) lines that will never cross each other. From a mathematical perspective, these are lines that have the same gradient. The only things that change are the x and y intercepts.

Learning Intention

I can recognize when lines are parallel by looking at their gradient. I can sketch a series of parallel lines.
