Question 667958: Write an equation of the line that passes through point P and is parallel to the given equation
P(-7,-4), y=16
Can you show me step by step, sorta confused on how to do this

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Parallel lines have the same slope.
...
The slope of the line y = 16 is 0 as it is a horizontal line
...
Using the information to determine the parallel line passing through (-7,-4),
this must also be a horizontal line so as to be parallel where y=-4.

...
Red line: y = -4
Green line: y = 16
