1. The problem is to analyze the linear equation $y = -\frac{3}{4}x + 10$ and understand its graph.
2. This is a linear equation in slope-intercept form $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.
3. Here, the slope $m = -\frac{3}{4}$ means the line falls 3 units vertically for every 4 units it moves horizontally to the right.
4. The y-intercept $b = 10$ means the line crosses the y-axis at the point $(0, 10)$.
5. To find the x-intercept, set $y=0$ and solve for $x$:
$$0 = -\frac{3}{4}x + 10$$
$$\frac{3}{4}x = 10$$
$$x = \frac{10 \times 4}{3} = \frac{40}{3} \approx 13.33$$
6. So the x-intercept is at $(\frac{40}{3}, 0)$.
7. The line decreases from left to right because the slope is negative.
Final answer: The line has slope $-\frac{3}{4}$, y-intercept at $(0,10)$, and x-intercept at $(\frac{40}{3},0)$.
