Answer:

y = -x+10

Explanation:

We have a point at ( 2,8) and a point at ( 4,6)

We can find the slope using

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= ( 6-8)/ ( 4-2)

= -2/2

= -1

The slope is -1

We can see that it intercepts the y axis at 10 ( x=0 point)

Using the slope intercept form y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -x+10
