Question

Write an equation for the line that is parallel to y = −2x and passes through the point (0, −7).

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -2x -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope

y = -2x has a slope of -2

The parallel line will have a slope of -2

It goes through a point of (0,-7).  This would be the y intercept

y = mx+b

y = -2x -7

Answer 2

Answer:

y=-2x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

y = −2x, then slope=-2.

The lines are parallel so the slope is the same.

(0,-7).....x1 =0,y1=-7

y-y1=-2(x-x1)

y-(-7)=-2(x-0)

y+7=-2x

y=-2x-7
