First of all we can rule out that the slope is 10. The coefficient before the x term is not 10 so the answer is not a.
Following on what I said for option a, option b is correct as the coefficient before the x term is -7/8. Therefore the answer is B.
The answer is not C as when x = 0, y is not 0. This means the line does not pass through the origin (0,0)
Option D is not true aswell. When x = 1, y= 9.125. When x= 2, y= 8.25. When x=3, y= 7.375. X is increasing whereas y is decreasing. Therefore option D is ruled out.
The answer is option B.
I hope this has helped you.

Answer:
180 pages
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the number of pages in the book , then
x + 40 = x ( multiply through by 9 to clear the fraction )
7x + 360 = 9x ( subtract 7x from both sides )
360 = 2x ( divide both sides by 2 )
180 = x
The total number of pages in the book is 180
