Hello!

The answer is:

If the green line has a slope of -4, the slope of the red line will also be -4.

So, the correct option is, C. -4

Why?

We need to remember that if two or more lines are parallel, they will share the same slope, no matter where are located their x-intercepts and y-intercepts, the only condition needed for them to be parallel, is to have the same slope.

So, if two lines are parallel, and one of them (the green line) has a slope of -4, the slope of the other line (the red one)will also be -4.

Have a nice day!
