Answer:

The Answer is: The slope is -1, so any line with the same slope is parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points (2, -7) and (4, -9) find the slope, m:

m = y - y1 / (x - x1)

m = -7 - (-9)/(2 - 4)

m = -7 + 9/-2

m = 2/-2

m = -1

A parallel line is any line with the same slope which is -1.

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome day!! :-)
