Answer:

The answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

If the two lines are parallel then they have the same slopes, the equation of the first line is y=7x+31, then the slope of the line is 7. Now you have the slope of the second line and this line is passing through the point (-6 , -1) then we will use the form of the equation $y-y1/x-x1=m\\y-(-1)/x-(-6)=7\\y+1/x+6=7\\y+1=7(x+6)$ so the correct answer is C
