Let $f$ be:
$$f(x) = 100 - x^2 $$
As far as I understand, the slope of the line tangent to such curve is given by its derivative:
$$ f'(x) = -2x $$
I want the equation of the line tangent to $f$ at the point it crosses the x-axis, so $10$ if I'm not mistaken.
How can I infer this equation?
Note: I'm working with this function in Sage: sage online
EDIT
With the comments and this:

I managed to get what I wanted.
Here is the Sage code I used:
f(x) = 100 - x**2
fd(x) = -2*x
# The following comes from solving y = mx + c for c,
# knowing that my point of interest is x = 10
# (because that's were f cuts the x-axis),
# so y = f(10) = 0, so m = fd(10).
fr(x) = fd(10)*x + 200
p1 = plot(f, (0, 10))
p2 = plot(fr, (0, 10), color='green')
p1 + p2
Here the plot:
And here a link to the test:

This is the general formula of a tangent line on the function $f$ in the point $(x_0, y_0)$:
$$y=(x-x_0) \cdot f'(x_0) + y_0$$
Obviously: $y_0 = f(x_0)$
In your case:
$$y = (x - 10) \cdot (-2 \cdot 10) + 0 = -20x + 200$$
