a)
Given:
The equation is,
[tex]y=-\frac{7}{5}x+7[/tex]The objective is to sketch the graph of the equation.
Since, the highest degree of the equation is 1, it could be a straight line. The general equation of straight line is,
[tex]y=mx+c[/tex]Here, m represents the slope of the equation and c represents the y intercept. Then comparing the both equations,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{slope, m=-}\frac{\text{7}}{5} \\ y\text{ intercept, c=7} \end{gathered}[/tex]Substitute, y = 0 in the given equation.
[tex]\begin{gathered} 0=-\frac{7}{5}x+7 \\ \frac{7}{5}x=7 \\ x=7\cdot\frac{5}{7} \\ x=5 \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, at y = 0, the value of x = 5.
Using the coordinates (5,0) and y intercept c = 7, the graph will be,
Hence, the required graph is obtained,
