1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to find the equation of a line that has a slope of 45-\frac{4}{5} and passes through the point (10,6)(-10, 6).

2. Solution Steps

We can use the point-slope form of a linear equation, which is:
yy1=m(xx1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)
where mm is the slope and (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) is a point on the line.
In this problem, we have m=45m = -\frac{4}{5} and (x1,y1)=(10,6)(x_1, y_1) = (-10, 6).
Plugging these values into the point-slope form, we get:
y6=45(x(10))y - 6 = -\frac{4}{5}(x - (-10))
y6=45(x+10)y - 6 = -\frac{4}{5}(x + 10)
Now, let's simplify the equation and convert it to slope-intercept form, y=mx+by = mx + b.
y6=45x45(10)y - 6 = -\frac{4}{5}x - \frac{4}{5}(10)
y6=45x8y - 6 = -\frac{4}{5}x - 8
y=45x8+6y = -\frac{4}{5}x - 8 + 6
y=45x2y = -\frac{4}{5}x - 2

3. Final Answer

The equation of the line is y=45x2y = -\frac{4}{5}x - 2.
