Answer:
y = 2x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The line passes through point (-7,-8)
The line is parallel to line whose equation is 2x - y = 6
Converting the equation of the second line into form y = mx + c;
2x - y = 6 is equal to y = 2x - 6 (the slope of this line is 2)
For parallel lines the value of their slopes is the same.
So our first line passes through point (-7,-8) and has a slope of 2
Taking another point (x,y) on the line;
Slope = Change in y ÷ change in x = [tex]\frac{y - - 8}{x - -7}[/tex] = 2
y + 8 = 2x + 7
y = 2x + 7 - 8
y = 2x - 1
