Adjusting problem description to this:
---
Equation of the line passing through point (−7,8) and parallel to the line whose equation is 7x−2y−5=0
---

Given line has slope 7%2F2, so any line in the plane parallel to this line also has slope 7%2F2. The coefficients on the x and y for line you want would be unchanged.

7x-2y-c=0
7x-2y=c
7%2A%28-7%29-2%288%29=c
-49-16=c
c=-65
