slope intercept form for the line that goes through (-6,-2) and is parallel to -7x+3

Question

anonymous · Answer

I need to find an equation in slope intercept form

katrinakaif · Answer

use the equation
(y - y1) = m (x-x1)
SInce its parallel, the slope has to be the same as the equation given 
(m = -7) 
NOw plug in (-6,-2) as (x1,y1) in the equation 
concludes 
(y+2) = -7(x +6) and solve

Okay now how do I solve it? Do I add them?

katrinakaif · Answer

(y + 2) = -7x -42 
y = -7x -44

anonymous · Answer

-7x+3...is it not equated to other no.?? is there no equal sign?

katrinakaif · Answer

its presumed.

katrinakaif · Answer

Since it is a slope-intercept form, it  has to be equated to "y" concluding 
y = -7x + 3
