For this case what we should do is evaluate the corresponding linear function with the following values:

x = 7 y = 1
We must verify that equality is met.
For the following function we have:

y = -x + 8
Substituting values:

1 = -7 + 8
Rewriting:

1 = 1
Therefore, the point (7,1) is on the line.
Answer:
B.) y = -x + 8
