Answer:


y=10x-8

Explanation:

Given: Point (1,2) lies on the line such that it's slope is 10.

To find: equation of line

Solution:

Let m be the slope of line and b be the y - intercept.

Here, slope is a number that describes the direction and the steepness of the line.

y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point where the graph of the line intersects the y-axis.

Equation of line is
y=mx+b

Put
(x,y)=(1,2),m=10


2=10(1)+b\\2=10+b\\b=2-10=-8

So, equation of line is
y=10x-8
