1 Answer

5 votes

Let's begin by listing out the information given:

(x, y) = (4, -10), (0, 10)

We will proceed to calculate the Slope:

m = Δy/Δx = (10 - - 10)/(0 - 4) = -20/4 = -5 The general formula of a linear equation is given by: y = mx + b

We will pick one of the coordinates & substitute into the general equation, we have:

10 = -5(0) + b ⇒ b = 10

b = 10

The linear equation becomes:

y = -5x + 10
