slopes of parallel lines are equal
y=7/2x-4 => 7/2 is the slope
7x−2y=14
(a)2y= 7x -14
y = 7/2x -7 slope 7/2

                      SLOPE
a.7x−2y=14            7%2F2
b.7y−2x=56            2%2F7
c.2x+7y=-21           -2%2F7
d.7x+2y=-16           -7%2F2

Parallel to the given line means slope of what you select needs to be 7%2F2.
