Answer:

gradient = 2

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the gradient and c the y- intercept )

Given

- 2x + y - 5 = 0 ( add 2x and 5 to both sides )

y = 2x + 5 ← in slope- intercept form

with gradient m = 2

Parallel lines have equal gradients

Gradient of parallel line is m = 2
