Remember that if lines are parallel, they will have the same slope. Also, the number added or subtracted in the equation is the y intercept, or the y value when the x=0. They gave you the point (0,-7) so really, they just gave you the y intercept. How nice!! That means you just use the same slope as the original and then add -7 to it to get your equation. With that knowledge, you can now easily identify the correct answer!!
