Answer:

The answer is

y = 6x + 43

Explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

To find the equation of the parallel line we must first find the slope of the original line

The original line is y = 6x + 1

Comparing with the general equation above

Slope = 6

Since the lines are parallel their slope are also the same

Slope of parallel line = 6

The equation of the line using point (-7,1) and slope 6 is


y - 1 = 6(x + 7) \\ y - 1 = 6x + 42 \\ y = 6x + 42 +1

We have the final answer as

y = 6x + 43

Hope this helps you
