Answer:

The new line is steeper than the original, but still crossing the y=axis at 7 .

Explanation:

Since what has changed from y = 2 x + 7 going into y = 5 x + 7 is the slope of the linear function, (from 2 to 5) what one would notice is that the new line is steeper - raising 5 units every one unit ste to the right- but would still be intersecting the y-axis at the point (0, 7), since the y-intercept has not changed.
