Answer:

slope = - 4

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

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

Given

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

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

with slope m = - 4

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

The slope of a parallel line is m = - 4
