Answer:

y= 6971 -7 x OR y = -7x + 6971

Step-by-step explanation:

the 6971 is the original number you started with, you are now decreasing by 7, so you use the value of -7. The x is the number of years that pass by, so the variable x affects the number 7 because it says decreases by 7 per year. The x does not go with 6971 as that number doesn't get directly affected.
