keeping in mind that parallel lines have exactly the same slope, let's check for the slope of the line G


(\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{10}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{1}-\stackrel{y1}{4}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{10}-\underset{x_1}{2}}} \implies \cfrac{ -3 }{ 8 } \implies {\Large \begin{array}{llll} - \cfrac{3 }{ 8 } \end{array}}
