To find the slope of an equation, rearrange it into y= mx + b.
2x + 5y = 10 (your statement)
2x - 2x + 5y = 10 - 2x (subtract -2x from both sides)
5y = 10 - 2x (simplify)
5y/5 = (10 - 2x)/5 (divide by 5 on both sides)
y = 2 - 2/5x
(M) i.e your slope = - 2/5x
Y intercept = 2
2x + 5y = 10 (your statement)
2x - 2x + 5y = 10 - 2x (subtract -2x from both sides)
5y = 10 - 2x (simplify)
5y/5 = (10 - 2x)/5 (divide by 5 on both sides)
y = 2 - 2/5x
(M) i.e your slope = - 2/5x
Y intercept = 2
