Since the lines are paralel within each other both will have the same slope.
Find the slope for the line with the given coordinates using the definition
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]name the points
point 1 = (8,-4)
point 2 = (4,2)
replace in the definition
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{2-(-4)}{4-8} \\ m=\frac{6}{-4} \\ m=-\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]The slope of a line parallel to one with the coordinates given is -3/2
