Answer:
[tex]a.7x - 15[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Product of 7 and x: 7x represents the multiplication of 7 and the corresponding x-value.
15 less than: Subtracting 15 from 7x indicates that y is 15 units below the product 7x.
Function equation: y = 7x - 15 directly translates this relationship, where y depends on the value of x in this way.
Incorrect options:
B. y < 7x - 15 suggests an inequality, not an exact equation.
C. y < 15 + 7x reverses the relationship between y and 7x.
D. y = 15 - 7x also reverses the relationship and subtracts 7x from 15.
