Answer:
The point is (7,0).
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a linear function in point-slope form is as follows :
Where
(x₁,y₁) are the coordinates of the point which the line passes through it and (x,y).
Harold correctly wrote the equation y= 3(x–7)
or we can write it as :
y-0=3(x-7) …(2)
Comparing equations (1) and (2), we get :
x₁ = 7 and y₁ = 0
So, the point is (7,0).
The correct option is (c).
