Correct Answer: $3$
Solution :
Given: The points are (5, –1) and (4, –4).
$\text{Slope}=\frac{y_2–y_1}{x_2–x_1}$
Substitute the given values in the above formula, we get,
$\frac{–4–(–1)}{4–5}=\frac{–3}{–1}$
So, the slope of the given line is 3. The slope of the line parallel to this line is also the same.
Hence, the correct answer is $3$.
