Answer:
[tex]y=-2x-2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
[tex]y=-2x+5[/tex]
This is the equation of a line in slope intercept form
where
[tex]m=-2[/tex] ---> the slope
[tex]b=5[/tex] ----> the y-intercept
we know that
If the given line was shifted down 7 units, then the new y-intercept is equal to
[tex]b=5-7=-2[/tex]
The slope of the new line will be the same that the original line, because are parallel lines
so
The new equation is
[tex]y=-2x-2[/tex]
