Question

write an equation for a line passing through the given point that is parallel to the given line. then write a second equation for a line passing through the given point that is perpendicular to the given line.

\\((-7, 0)\\), \\(y = -0.3x + 4.4\\)

a slope-intercept equation for a line passing through the point \\((-7, 0)\\) that is parallel to \\(y = -0.3x + 4.4\\) is \\(\square\\).
(simplify your answer. type your answer in slope-intercept form. use integers or decimals for any numbers in the equation.)
