Answer:

B) -7x + 7y= -49

Explanation:

Using the general equation for a line

y=mx+b

where m is the slope (positive if the line goes up from left to right and negative is it goes down from left to right)

and b is the point where the line crosses the y-axis

By th graph we can see that the line goes up from left to right, so the slope is positive, and that it crosses the y axis in -7, b= -7 and x is positive.

Solving for y in all the options

A) y = -x

B) y = x - 7

C) y = -x +7

D) y= x+7

the option that describes the line in the graph is B) -7x + 7y= -49 since when clearing for y we get y = x - 7 wich has a positive slope, and has an interception b = -7.
