Question

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-7, -6) and is

parallel to the line 2 - y = 7?

Answer 1

`y = -6`

Explanation:

Because is a line is of the form

`y = mx + b`

and its parallel to the line

`2 - y &= 7\\- y &= 5\\y = -5`

So that's meaning that the slope
`m` is equal to 0 then the equation now is of the form

`y = b`

Then if pass for the point -6 and
`b` is the point of cut with the
`y` axis then our equation of the line is equal to

`y = -6`
