INTRODUCTION
What are linear graphs?
Linear graphs can be represented as straight lines. The word linear itself means straight line! A linear graph is a straight line graph that is plotted on a Cartesian plane with x and y axis.
Equation of a straight line graph is
y = mx + c
Equation of a straight line graph is
y = mx + c

Gradient of parallel lines
Parallel line graphs ALWAYS have the SAME gradient!
Hence, the formula is m1= m2
Hence, the formula is m1= m2
Gradient of perpendicular lines
The gradient of perpendicular lines is ALWAYS NEGATIVE RECIPROCALS of each other!
Hence, the formula is
m1 = -1/m2
Hence, the formula is
m1 = -1/m2
