Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that is parallel to y = −7x − 8 and that passes through the point (7, −8).

Question

I've been stuck on this for awhile 

Answer 1

Just figure out the slope of that stated line, i.e. capture its 'm' value--because parallel lines all have same slope.

 

now use point slope form.  E A S Y because you have both a point and a slope for your new line.
