Question

The line is parallel to y = −
6
7
x + 2 and passes through the point (−7, −3).

Answer 1

You probably mean (-6/7)x which means slope = -6/7. For some reason, many problems posted like this leave out the / between the numerator and denominator

then any parallel line has the same slope

y=(-6/7)x + b, solve for b by plugging in the point (-7,-3)

-3 + (-6/7)(-7) + b

b = -3 =6 = -9

the parallel line is y = (-6/7)x - 9
