Answer:

-2

Explanation:

When 2 lines are parallel that means they have the same slope but diffrent y-intercepts. You can also double check this by counting what the slope is on the graph itself, the red line's equation is y=-2x + 2 while the green line's in y = -2x - 4.

Hope this helps!! :)

(Sorry if this is a bit in-depth, I'm just really passionate about people understanding slope)
