Give your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.

Pls help I’ve got no idea

Two parallel lines have same slopes so we need to find the slope of the line which passes through the given points.

Suppose : A = ( - 2 , 7 ) & B = ( 4 , 4 )

Slope = y ( B ) - y ( A ) / x ( B ) - x ( A )

Slope = 4 - 7 / 4 - ( - 2 )

Slope = - 3 / 4 + 2

Slope = - 3 / 6

Slope = - 1 / 2

As you know The coefficient of x is the slope of the line in slope-intercept form.

Thus we have to find the option which x has - 1 / 2 as the coefficient .

Look we have that in D so the correct answer is D .
