Answer:

y = 1/7x + 22

Step-by-step explanation:

since the line is parallel, the slope should be the same.

so we need to find the y-intercept to put in into slope-intercept form.

what I do, is simply plug in the y and x points into the equation y=mx+b

y=mx+b -formula used

21 = 1/7(-7) + b -plug in

21 = -1 + b -multiply 1/7 and -7

22 = b -simplify to get the y-intercept

since we now know the y-intercept and the slope, we can plug them in to get our answer, which will be y = 1/7x + 22
