Answer 1

Answer: the slope of green line =
`-\frac37`

Explanation:

We know that,

If two lines are parallel then their slopes(rate of change of y with respect to x) are equal.

Given: The red line and the green line are parallel.

The slope of red line =
`-\frac37`

Then, the slope of green line =
`-\frac37` [Slopes of two parallel lines are equal]

Hence, the slope of green line =
`-\frac37`
