Answer:

The answer is: " 6 " .

→ " y = 6 " .

_______________________

Explanation:

We are given the equation:

y = - x + 7 ;

We are given that: " ( 1 , y ) " ;

is a point on the graph.

So, we are asked to find the value for " y " in the given

equation when " x = 1 " .

_______________________

So, given the equation:

y = - x + 7 ;

Substitute: " 1 " for " x" ; and: "Solve for "y" :

y = - (1) + 7 ;

_______________________

y = -1 + 7 ;

y = 7 + (-1) ;

y = 7 - 1 ;

y = 6 .

_______________________

The answer is: " 6 " .

→ " y = 6 " .

Hope this answer — and explanation — was of help!

Best wishes!
