Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

If these lines are parallel, they should have the same slope. How so? Well slope is the change in axis, y / x more specifically. If the lines are parallel they should change at a similar rate so that they don't intersect, and hence are, by definition, ║;


Green Line's Slope = Red Line's Slope,\\8 = Red Line's Slope,\\Red Line's Slope = 8 units\\\\Solution - Option D

Hope that helps!
