To solve the the question we proceed as follows:
From trigonometric laws
(cos x)^2+(sin x)^2=1
(cos y)^2+(sin y)^2=1
sin (x-y)=sin x sin y-sin y cos x
cos (x-y)=cos x cos y+ sin x sin y
si  x=8/17
cos x=sqrt(1-(sin x)^2)=sqrt(1-64/289)=sqrt(225/289)=15/17
cos y=3/5
sin x= sqrt(1- (cos x)^2)= sqrt(1-9/25)=sqrt(16/25)=4/5
thus
tan (x-y)=[sin (x-y)]/[cos (x-y)]
=[sin x cos y-sin y cos x]/[cos x cos y+sin x sin y]
plugging in the values we obtain:
[8/17 *3/5-4/5*15/7]/[15/17*3/5+8/17*4/5]
simplifying
[24/85-60/85]/[45/85+32/85]
=-36/77

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

Point (7, 0)

Equation y = x - 7

<u>Step 2: Find</u>

  1. Substitute in point [Equation]:                                                                         0 = 7 - 7
  2. Subtract:                                                                                                            0 = 0

Since 0 = 0 is true, then it would be a solution to the equation.
