1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to find the slope and y-intercept of a given line, and then write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form (y=mx+by = mx + b). The graph shows that the line passes through the points (0, 10) and (10, 0).

2. Solution Steps

First, we find the slope mm using the two given points (x1,y1)=(0,10)(x_1, y_1) = (0, 10) and (x2,y2)=(10,0)(x_2, y_2) = (10, 0).
The formula for the slope is:
m=y2y1x2x1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
m=010100=1010=1m = \frac{0 - 10}{10 - 0} = \frac{-10}{10} = -1
The y-intercept bb is the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis. From the graph, we can see that the y-intercept is
1

0. So, $b = 10$.

Now, we write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form:
y=mx+by = mx + b
Substituting m=1m = -1 and b=10b = 10, we get:
y=1x+10y = -1x + 10
y=x+10y = -x + 10

3. Final Answer

y=x+10y = -x + 10
