Answer:

[tex]y = -2x -1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Passes through: (0, -1)

Parallel to: y = -2x + 7

Required

Determine the line equation

If the line is parallel to y = -2x + 7, then it has the same slope as y = -2x + 7.

For an equation of form: [tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

The slope is m

By comparison:

[tex]m = -2[/tex]

So, the slope of the extorted is -2.

The equation is then calculated using:

[tex]y = m(x - x_1)+ y_1[/tex]

[tex]y = -2(x - 0)-1[/tex]

[tex]y = -2(x )-1[/tex]

[tex]y = -2x -1[/tex]
