Answer:

x = -7

Explanation:

Two parallel lines are lines that never intersect each other.

The y-axis can be written as x = 0.

Then if we want a parallel line to this one, it must be something like x = b

such that b ≠ 0.

Now we want that the distance between our line and the line x = 0 is 7 units to the left

(remember that the left is the negatie side of the axis)

then we can write:

b - 0 = -7

b = -7

The parallel line is x = -7
