Answer:

slope of parallel line = - 1

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

given the line with equation

x + y = - 4 ( subtract x from both sides )

y = - x - 4 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 1

Parallel lines have equal slopes , then

the slope of a parallel line is - 1
