3x + 7y = 7
If we put this equation into point-slope form we get:

y=-(3)/(7)+1
Therefore we have a negative slope of -(3/7), so the line is "tilted right downward".
The last choice of answer is the correct answer.

Answer:

option 4th is correct.

Explanation:

We have been given an equation of a line 3x+7y=7

We have general form for equation of line which is: y=mx+c

Where m is slope of the line and c is constant

We will rearrange the given equation by dividing each term by 7 we get:


y=1-(3)/(7)x

Where slope is
(3)/(7) on comparing it with general equation

Since, the slope is negative therefore, it will be tilted

You can see the attachment to get it more clearly,

The given line is tilted right downward

Therefore, option 4th is correct.
