Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = 2x - 17

Explanation:

In order to find this, we must first note that the slope of the original line is 2. Since they are parallel line, we know that they have the same slope. So, we can use that slope and the point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - -3 = 2(x - 7)

y + 3 = 2x - 14

y = 2x - 17
