Answer: y=7x

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the line that is parallel to the given line, we know that the slope will stay the same. Parallel lines NEVER touch or cross. Therefore, the slope MUST stay the same. All we have to do is plug in the given point to find the y-intercept.

y=7x+b

0=7(0)+b          [multiply]

b=0

Now, we know the equation is y=7x+0 or y=7x.
