Answer:


y=10x+15

Explanation:

We want the equation of a line with a slope of 10 and passes through (-4, -25).

We can use the point-slope form given by:


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is a point.

So, we will substitute 10 for m and (-4, -25) for (x₁, y₁):


\displaystyle y-(-25)=10(x-(-4))

Simplify:


y+25=10(x+4)

Distribute:


y+25=10x+40

Subtract 25 from both sides:


y=10x+15

And we have our equation.
