Answer:

A y = -x+2

Explanation:

To find the slope of the line m we use the formula

slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (-9--7)/(4-2)

= (-9+7)/(4-2)

= -2/2

= -1

When lines are parallel, the slopes are the same. We need to find a line with slope of -1

y = -1x+2 is written in the form y =mx+b where m is the slope

m=-1 so the slope is -1

This line has the same slope so it is parallel to the line above.
