Aim Answer: What are parallel lines?

What are parallel lines?

     Parallel lines are lines that are paralleled to each other on a line graph.In order for the lines to be parallel they have to have the same slope. For example, if the equation is y=2x+1, a parallel line would be y=2x-5. Also, they can't have the same y-intercept because it will be the same line, and it wouldn't be paralleled.  

In the graph below the lines are paralleled. The equation of the black line is 2x+2. The reason they are paralleled is because the blue equation has the same slope and a different y intercept.

Aim answer: How do we relate graphs to events?

How do we relate graphs to events?

     We can relate graphs to many things. We can relate it to our lives or even events that happens. For example, you can graph the amount of seconds it takes someone to type 500 words. Also, you can graph about how long it takes to walk to school in minutes. These are some examples of how we can relate graphs to many things and events.
