Answer:
y= -1.4x-6.6
Step-by-step explanation:
(1,-8)
7x+5y=-7
Make the equation into standard form
Subtract 7x from both sides
5y=-7x-7
Divide all by 5
y=-1.4x-1.4
Since they are parrallel, we know the slope is -1.4x
y=-1.4x+b
(1,-8) is one of the points it goes through
Replace the x and y in the equation for the x and y in the incomplete equation
-8=-1.4+b
Add 1.4 to both sides
-6.6=b
Thus the equation is
y=-1.4x-6.6
