Equation of Parallel Lines

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Analyze patterns in equations of parallel lines. Building on previous knowledge of parallel lines and writing linear equations, learners watch how to create an equation of a line parallel to a given line. The video emphasizes the gradient (or slope) of the lines and also shows the graph to reinforce the pattern.
