y-10 = -5/4x + 30/4 represents a linear function; we know that because both x and y have the power 1.
We could put this equation into one of several forms.
Suppose we wanted to put it into slope-intercept form. Then y-10 = -5/4x + 30/4 becomes y = 10 + 30/4 - (5/4)x, or y = 35/2 - (5/4)x. Thus, this line has the slope -5/4 and the y-intercept (0, 35/2).
If this isn't quite what you wanted, then please share the instructions.
