Do not understand this question at all the best one will be marked as brainliest

Step-by-step

A line with slope (or gradient) m, passing through a point (x0,y0) can be represented by the equation:

(y-y0) = m(x-x0)  (1)

Here,

(x0,y0) = (1,7), and

slope/gradient = -2

Substitute values into (1) above gives

(y-7)=2(x-1)

Expand and simplify

y-7 = 2x-2

y =2x -2 + 7

y=2x+5

is the final answer.
