Write the equation of the line parallel to y equals 7 x -8 and passes through the x intercept of 4

To be parallel, all the equation needs is the same slope as y = 7x - 8. And to go through an x intercept of 4, all we need to do is make the equation equal -4 when you input 0 for y. Using this information, we can make this equation:



We can simplify this down by dividing by seven on both sides.



And that is your answer!
