Question

Which equation represents a line which is parallel to the line y = -7x - 8?

7x + y = -3
x+ 7y = 7
y - 7x = 6
x- -7y = -28

Answer 1

7x+y=-3

Explanation:

if m is the slope of a line, then the slope of its parallel line will have the same slope m,

in the given equation, y=-7x-8, the slope is -7

among the options, 1st option has a slope of -7, since,

7x+y=-3

or, y=-7x-3
