We want to draw a line through each point using a slope of 14. To do so, remember that the slope is the value of the ratio of the change in y to the change in x between any two points on the line.
m=Change iny/Change inx
Since we want a line with a slope equal to 14, we need to move 1 unit up and 4 units to the right from each point. Let's start with point (- 2, - ,2).
Now, we will do the same for the point (2,0).
Finally, let's draw a line for each pair of points.
Remember that lines with the same slope are parallel. Parallel lines do not intersect. Therefore, our lines do not intersect.

Linear Equations
A linear equation is an equation whose graph is a line.
This type of equation contains at least one linear term and any number of constants. Let's see a few examples!
& y=2x+1,
& 3x=6 +3,
& 2y+x=4
