1) Considering the slope-intercept formula y=mx+b, the slope m=-10 and point (10,120) Let's plug the point and the slope to find the linear coefficient "b" so that we can write the full equation.

(x,y)

(10,120)

m=-10

y=mx+b

120=-10(10)+b

120=-100+b

120+100=b

220=b

2) Writing all these pieces of information, we have :

y=-10x+220

As the equation of that line.
