The line it is parallel to is x + y = 10, but you can put that into slope-intercept form by subtracting x and get y = 10 - x. This is all the working you need to do because the only answer given that has a negative slope is C. y = -x + 4, and parallel lines always have the same slope, so your answer is C. I hope this helps!
