Answer:

y = 7x - 2

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

given the line with equation

y = 7x + 4 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 7

• Parallel lines have equal slopes , then

y = 7x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line

given the line passes through (0, - 2 ) , the y- intercept c = - 2

y = 7x - 2 ← equation of parallel line
