Answer: y=-2x+7


Step by step explanation: Generally, equations take the form of y=mx+b
Where m is the gradient and b is the point at which the line intercepts the y axis. Also, parallel lines have the exact same gradient.

So we have given information, where the gradient of the line is -2 (because both lines are parallel) and that the y intercept of the line is 7

So, with the form of y=mx+b, we substitute this information in so that our answer becomes y=-2+7
