Answer:


y = -(7)/(20)x + 1

Explanation:

We have to find the equation of the line that would be made by the stars

This line is parallel to the one already given

Gradients of both lines will be the same

Find out the gradient of the line already given

chose 2 coordinates of the line, I'll choose (0,0) and (-10,3.5)

use the formula


(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)


(3.5-0)/(-10-0)


-(3.5)/(10)

-7/20 is the gradient

the star crosses the y axis at y = 1 so the y intercept is 1

y = mx + c


y = -(7)/(20)x + 1
