Answer

To find the slope of a line parallel

1. Calculate the line slope

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

You can select two different point

For example,

(x1 , y1 ) = (-4, 0)

(x2, y2 ) = (0, 6)

_______________________________

So then, the slope,

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

Replacing with the two points chosen

m = ( 6 - 0) / ( 0 - (-4) )

m=6/4

m= 3/2

___________

The parallel lines have the same slope.

_____________

The slope of a line parallel to the given line is 3/2
