Explanation:

a lot of typos in the problem description.

if I understand correctly, the line contains the point (5, 10) and has a slope of 1.

and we need to give the line equation in slope-intercept form.

that means it has to look like

y = ax + b

a is the slope and b is the y-intercept (hence the name of the form).

we know a = 1.

we can use use the point-slope form to start and then transform it into the slope-intercept form.

point-slope means

y - y1 = a(x - x1)

a is again the slope, and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

so,

y - 10 = 1(x - 5) = x - 5

now we transform it (adding 10 on both sides)

y = x + 5

and that's it.
