Given:

an equation is given as y = -8.

Find:

we have to find an equation parallel to the given equation and passing through (-6, -7).

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare the given equation with y = mx + b,

we find that slope ,m = 0 ,

the equation of the line passing through (-6,-7) is

y - (-7) = m( x - (-6))

y + 7 = 0(x + 6)

y + 7 = 0

y = -7

Therefore, y = -7 is an equation which is parallel to y = -8 and passing through ( -6, -7).

The graph of both y = -8 and its parallel equation y = -7 which passes through (-6, -7) is given as below

Red line represents the equation y = -8

and blue line represents the equation y = -7 passes through the point (-6,-7).

Therefore, the equation of the line parallel to y = -8 and passing through (-6,-7) is y = -7.
