Answer:   Choice C)  m = -2

======================================================

Explanation:

Let's find the slope of line AB

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (7-(-3))/(-4-1)

m = (7+3)/(-4-1)

m = 10/(-5)

m = -2

The slope of line AB is -2

The slope of any line parallel to line AB will also have the same slope.

Parallel lines have equal slopes, but different y intercepts.
