Answer

$y=-\frac{4}{3}x+\frac{40}{3}$.

Work Step by Step

The line passes through the points $\left( 4,8 \right)$ and $\left( 10,0 \right)$. Find the value of $m$. $\begin{align} & m=\frac{0-8}{10-4} \\ & =-\frac{8}{6} \\ & =-\frac{4}{3} \end{align}$ Put the values into the equation of a straight line. $\begin{align} & y-0=-\frac{4}{3}\left( x-10 \right) \\ & y=\frac{4}{3}x+\frac{40}{3} \end{align}$ Thus, the equation in slope-intercept form of a line with the points $\left( 4,8 \right)$ and $\left( 10,0 \right)$ is $y=-\frac{4}{3}x+\frac{40}{3}$.
