Answer:

B

Explanation:

Given

5 - 2x + 7y = 4 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

- 2x + 7y = - 1 ( add 2x to both sides )

7y = 2x - 1 ( divide all terms by 7 )

y =
(2)/(7) x -
(1)/(7) → B

Answer:

B.
y=(2)/(7)x-(1)/(7)

Explanation:

We have been given an equation
5-2x+7y=4. We are asked to choose the equation that is equivalent to our given equation.

We will convert our given equation in point-slope form of equation.


5-2x+2x+7y=4+2x


5+7y=4+2x


5-5+7y=4-5+2x


7y=-1+2x


7y=2x-1

Divide both sides by 7:


(7y)/(7)=(2x)/(7)-(1)/(7)


y=(2)/(7)x-(1)/(7)

Therefore, equation
y=(2)/(7)x-(1)/(7) is equivalent to our given equation and option B is the correct choice.
