You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Two lines that are parallel
\n" ); document.write( "have the same slope/ gradient/ m
\n" ); document.write( "Sort out 4x - 7y + my = 3
\n" ); document.write( "into the form: y = mx + c
\n" ); document.write( "- 7y + my = - 4x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "(7 - m)y = 4x - 3
\n" ); document.write( "y = 4/7-m x - 3/7 - m
\n" ); document.write( "Any other line with m = 4/7-m
\n" ); document.write( "will be parallel to this one.
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps.
