Parallel lines have the same slope. The given line has a slope of -3.

Since parallel lines have the same slope, the slope of the line parallel to the given line is -3.

Answer:

- 3

Explanation:

if lines are parallel then their slopes are the same.

So, for the line with equation y = - 3x - 7, slope = -3,

and for parallel line slope also = - 3.
