To form an equation with the given information, we use the formula :
y = mx + b, m being the slope and b being the y-intercept.
Since it is given that the slope is -9/7, we substitute m with -9/7.
y = -9/7x + b
To find b, we will substitute the known coordinates into the equation :
At point (-7 , 4), x = -7, y = 4
4 = -9/7 (-7) + b
4 = 9 + b
b = 4 - 9
b = -5
Now we know that b = -5, we will substitute b = -5 into the equation that we found earlier, y = -9/7 x + b :
y = - 9/7x - 5
To make it more readable, we can multiply the equation by 7:
7y = -9x - 5
7y + 9x + 5 = 0

Answer : 7y + 9x + 5 = 0

Both functions decrease at (-1, 2)
<h3>How to determine the decreasing intervals of the function?</h3>
The complete question is added as an attachment
The polynomial function f(x) is represented by the graph.
From the graph, the polynomial function decreases at (-2, 2)
The absolute function is given as;
f(x) = =5|x + 1| + 10
The vertex of the above function is
Vertex = (-1, 10)
Because a is negative (a= -5), the vertex is a maximum.
This means that the function decreases at (-1, ∞)
So, we have
(-2, 2) and (-1, ∞)
Combine both intervals
(-1, 2)
This means that both functions decrease at (-1, 2)
See attachment 2 for the number line that represents the interval where both functions are decreasing

A. the polynomial can then be factored to (x+10)(x+2).
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
the tangent- tangent angle UVW is half the difference of the intercepted arcs, that is
∠ UVW =
(UW - WU ) , then
5x + 17 =
(37x + 5 - (23x - 5) ) ← multiply both sides by 2
10x + 34 = 37x + 5 - 23x + 5
10x + 34 = 14x + 10 ( subtract 14x from both sides )
- 4x + 34 = 10 ( subtract 34 from both sides )
- 4x = - 24 ( divide both sides by - 4 )
x = 6
