Answer:
[tex]y+7=-2(x+9)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the slope of the line
we know that
If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are the same
so
The slope of the given line is [tex]m=-2[/tex]
therefore
The slope of the line parallel to the given line is [tex]m=-2[/tex]
step 2
Find the equation of the line in point slope form
[tex]y-y1=m(x-x1)[/tex]
we have
[tex]m=-2[/tex]
[tex]point\ (-9,-7)[/tex]
substitute
[tex]y+7=-2(x+9)[/tex]
