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
