Answer:

HJ

Explanation:

we know that

If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are the same

so

The slope of the line that is parallel to a line that has a slope of 3 is equal to 3

Verify the slope of the blue and red line , because their slopes are positive

Blue line

we have

C(-3,0),D(3,2)

The slope m is equal to

m=(2-0)/(3+3)

m=2/6

m=1/3

Red line

we have

H(-1,-4),J(1,2)

The slope m is equal to

m=(2+4)/(1+1)

m=6/2

m=3

therefore

The answer is the red line HJ
