When two equations are parallel, they have the same slopes.

anonymous · Answer

So you have to first put -7x - 5y = 48 in slope intercept form, which is y=mx+b.

Alright. Could you possibly solve them and I'll work from the answer to see how it was done? I've spent the last two hours working and these are the last two questions I have.
