1. **State the problem:** Find the equation of line H in the form $y = mx + c$ given two points on the line: $(-10, 70)$ and $(10, -30)$.
2. **Formula used:** The slope $m$ of a line passing through points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is given by:
$$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$$
3. **Calculate the slope:**
$$m = \frac{-30 - 70}{10 - (-10)} = \frac{-100}{20} = -5$$
4. **Use point-slope form to find $c$:**
The equation is $y = mx + c$, so plug in one point, say $(-10, 70)$:
$$70 = -5 \times (-10) + c$$
$$70 = 50 + c$$
$$c = 70 - 50 = 20$$
5. **Final equation:**
$$y = -5x + 20$$
This is the equation of line H in slope-intercept form.
