Answer:

The answer is

[tex]y = \frac{2}{3} x + \frac{17}{3} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

To find the equation of the parallel line we must first find the slope of the original line

The original line is y = ⅔x + 4

Comparing with the general equation above

Slope = 2/3

Since the lines are parallel their slope are also the same

Slope of parallel line = 2/3

Equation of the line using point (-7 , 1) and slope 2/3 is

[tex]y - 1 = \frac{2}{3} (x + 7) \\ y - 1 = \frac{2}{3} x + \frac{14}{3} \\ y = \frac{2}{3} x + \frac{14}{3} + 1[/tex]

We have the final answer as

[tex]y = \frac{2}{3} x + \frac{17}{3} [/tex]

Hope this helps you
