To understand how the function \( y = x + 7 \) is related to the parent function \( y = x \), we can analyze the transformation that occurs.

The function \( y = x + 7 \) represents a vertical translation of the parent function \( y = x \). Specifically, it can be understood as shifting the entire graph of \( y = x \) upward by 7 units.

Now let's evaluate the provided options:

A. **Each output of \( y = x + 7 \) is seven more than the corresponding output for \( y = x \).**
- This is correct because for any input \( x \), the output of \( y = x + 7 \) is simply the output of \( y = x \) plus 7.

B. **Each output of \( y = x + 7 \) is seven times the corresponding output for \( y = x \).**
- This is incorrect. The outputs are not multiplied; they are increased by 7.

C. **Each output of \( y = x + 7 \) is one-seventh the corresponding output for \( y = x \).**
- This is incorrect. The outputs are not scaled down; they are not in any way related to being a fraction of the outputs of the parent function.

D. **Each output of \( y = x + 7 \) is seven less than the corresponding output for \( y = x \).**
- This is incorrect. The outputs are not decreased; they are increased by 7, not decreased.

Thus, the correct relationship is represented by:

**A. Each output of \( y = x + 7 \) is seven more than the corresponding output for \( y = x.**
