Answer: y=7x

Explanation:

To find the line that is parallel to the given line, we know that the slope will stay the same. Parallel lines NEVER touch or cross. Therefore, the slope MUST stay the same. All we have to do is plug in the given point to find the y-intercept.

y=7x+b

0=7(0)+b [multiply]

b=0

Now, we know the equation is y=7x+0 or y=7x.

7. Write the equation of the line that passes through the point P (0,0), and is parallel to the line y = 7x - 8. Write the answer in slope-intercept form.
