A line is given by the expression:
y=mx+b
where, m is the slope of the line and since we have to write an equation that is parallel to the given line, both lines have the same slope:
We can find the equation of the line by the slope-point form of a line, with the given point (-8, -7) and the slope of -4
[tex]\begin{gathered} y-y_0=m(x-x_0) \\ y+7=-4(x+8) \\ y+7=-4x-32 \\ y=-4x-32-7 \\ y=-4x-39 \end{gathered}[/tex]
