Answer:

y= -x+10

Explanation:

ok, so the basic formula is y=mx+b

m=slope and b= the intercept

the line crosses the y-axis at 10, so we know that 10=b. it is a downward going slope, so its negative. the formula for slope is rise/run, or in our case, fall/run. for every 2 it falls, it runs 2. that is -2/2, which can be simplified to -1. looking at the graph , it's hard to comprehend the question at first and it took me multiple times looking at the graph. I hope I helped some!
