y-50=-17/3(x-10)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y-50=-17/3(x-10)
------
Add 50
y = -17/3(x-10) + 50
y = (-17/3)x + 170/3 + 50
y = (-17/3)x + 320/3
--------------
To graph it, pick 2 values for x and find y
eg,
x = 1, y = 101 --> (1,101)
x = 10, y = 50 --> (10,50)
----
Plot the 2 points, draw a line thru them.
