To find the slope of a line parallel to the given line, we need to find the slope of the given line.

First, we can rewrite the equation of the given line in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):
562x + 4y = 56
4y = -562x + 56
y = (-562/4)x + 14
y = (-281/2)x + 14

From this form, we can see that the slope of the given line is -281/2.

Since lines that are parallel have the same slope, the slope of any line parallel to the given line is also -281/2.
