1. The problem asks for the equation of a line in slope-intercept form, which is given by the formula:
$$y = mx + b$$
where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.
2. We are given two points on the line: $(-10, -10)$ and $(10, 10)$. To find the slope $m$, use the formula:
$$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$$
Substitute the points:
$$m = \frac{10 - (-10)}{10 - (-10)} = \frac{10 + 10}{10 + 10} = \frac{20}{20} = 1$$
3. The slope is $1$. Next, find the y-intercept $b$ by substituting one point and the slope into the slope-intercept form:
Using point $(10, 10)$:
$$10 = 1 \times 10 + b$$
Simplify:
$$10 = 10 + b$$
Subtract 10 from both sides:
$$10 - 10 = b$$
$$0 = b$$
4. The y-intercept is $0$. Therefore, the equation of the line is:
$$y = 1x + 0$$
or simply
$$y = x$$
5. Comparing with the options given:
A) $y = 8x + 8$
B) $y = x - 8$
C) $y = 8x - 8$
D) $y = x + 8$
None exactly matches $y = x$, but the line passes through the origin, so the correct equation is $y = x$, which is not listed. However, based on the problem statement, the slope is 1 and y-intercept is 0.
Final answer: $y = x$
