a linear equation is given by the formula:


y=mx+b

In the equation y = 0 , the terms m and b are equal to zero

Y = 0x + 0

Then, a parallel equation to y = 0 has the same slope m = 0

y = 0*x + b

y = b

The equation passes through (-7,4), if we replace into the equation above, we get:

y = 0*(-7) + 4

y = 4

Answer: The equation y = 4 is parallel to y = 0 and passes through (-7,4)
