Answer:

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope of the line passing through the points [tex](2,3)[/tex] and [tex](7,y):[/tex]

[tex]m=\dfrac{y-3}{7-2}=\dfrac{y-3}{5}[/tex]

The slope of the line is equal to

[tex]m=-\dfrac{2}{5},[/tex]

then

[tex]\dfrac{y-3}{5}=-\dfrac{2}{5}\\ \\y-3=-2\\ \\y=-2+3\\ \\y=1[/tex]
