1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to find the slope and y-intercept of the given line and then write the equation of the line. The y-intercept is given.

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to find the slope of the line. The image shows a line that passes through the points (0,10)(0, 10) and (8,6)(8, 6). The slope mm is given by the formula:
m=y2y1x2x1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
Using the points (0,10)(0, 10) and (8,6)(8, 6), we have:
m=61080=48=12m = \frac{6 - 10}{8 - 0} = \frac{-4}{8} = -\frac{1}{2}
The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, which is given as (0,10)(0, 10). Therefore, b=10b = 10.
The equation of the line is given by the slope-intercept form:
y=mx+by = mx + b
Plugging in the slope m=12m = -\frac{1}{2} and the y-intercept b=10b = 10, we have:
y=12x+10y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 10

3. Final Answer

12 -\frac{1}{2}
