The desired line would have an equation of the form 4y + 16x = k for some constant k, since the two lines are supposed to be parallel. To find k, substitute x = -7 and y = -6 into the equation, giving
4*-6 +16*-7 = k
==>k = -136
==> the equation of the line is 4y + 16x = -136, or y + 4x = -34, or
y = -4x - 34.
