Answer:

y = -5x + 10

Explanation:

=========================================

The general slope-intercept form is:


y = mx + b\\\rule{150}{0.5}\\m \text { - slope}\\b \text{ - Y Intercept}

=========================================

We are given:

  • A slope of -5.
  • A y-intercept of 10.

We would replace 'm ' with -5 and 'b' with 10.

=========================================


y = mx + b \rightarrow \boxed{y = -5x + 10}

=========================================

Hope this helps!
