He is at 70 feet above sea level. -30+100 is 70.
For this question you need to use what's called point-slope form. It's named this way because you can use it if you have both the slope and a point at which the line passes through. That said, the equation is as follows:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Both y1 and x1 represent the y and x coordinates you are given in the question. Also, m represents the slope of the line that you are given. Knowing this, our equation now looks like this:
y - 4 = -0.5(x - (-5))
And now simplify:
y - 4 = -0.5(x + 5)
y - 4 = -0.5x - 2.5
y = -0.5x + 1.5
Substitution would be a great approach to solving this system, because the first equation defines y as x - 10 and you can thus substitute x - 10 for y in the second equation:
2x + (x - 10) = 4
Then 3x - 10 = 4, and 3x = 14. Solving for x: x = 14/3.
Since y = x-10, subst. 14/3 for x to find y: y = 14/3 - 30/3 = -16/3
The solution is (14/3, -16/3).
