The question is an illustration of a linear function, and the equation that represents the function is [tex]y =-2x +10[/tex]

A linear function is represents as: y = mx + c, where:

  • m represents the slope or rate
  • c represents the y-intercept

In this case, we have:

  • [tex]m = -2[/tex]
  • [tex]c = 10[/tex]

So, the equation becomes

[tex]y =-2x +10[/tex]

Hence, the equation of the function is [tex]y =-2x +10[/tex]
