Answer:

y = 10x - 46

Explanation:

slope intercept form: y = mx + b

m is slope and b is y-intercept

given: y - 4 = 10(x-5)

1. distibute 10

y - 4 = 10x - 50

2. we need to get y by itself so bring -4 to other side

y = 10x - 50 + 4

y = 10x - 46

slope-intercept form is
y=mx+b


y=10(x-5)+4 ↣ We move -4 to another side and become positive number.


y=(10x-50)+4 ↣ Distribute 10 inside the brackets.


y=10x-50+4\\y=10x-46 ↣ Then we get the slope-intercept form.

Thus, the answer is
y=10x-46
