Answer:

Y=-1/2x+4

Explanation:

-The slope is -1/2 so you just plug it in where the slope would go with an x in front

-all you need now is your y-intercept which can be found by plugging in the provided info to your basic form y=mx+b

-You can take the provided point at (10,-1) and work out what the intercepts is

-1=-1/2(10)-b

-1=-5-b

4=b
