The value of "y" will change depending on the value of "x". The words "when x is equal to zero, y is equal to negative 5" means that if you set x=0 in the equation, the yvalue becomes -5. Watch> Subsitute x=0 into the equation: y = 7/5 (0) - 5. Multiply: y= 0 - 5.

Hello!

Since a fraction is literally the numerator divided by the denominator, then the correct answer is some number divided by seven.

(Note: A variable always represents an unknown number.)
