$slope = \frac{2}{5}, y-intercept = - 2$ $"slope "=2/5,"y-intercept "=-2$

Explanation:

$the equation of a line in slope-intercept form$ $"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"$ is.

$∙ x y = m x + b$ $•color(white)(x)y=mx+b$

$where m represents the slope and b the y-intercept$ $"where m represents the slope and b the y-intercept"$

$rearrange 2 x - 5 y = 10 into this form$ $"rearrange "2x-5y=10" into this form"$

$subtract 2x from both sides$ $"subtract 2x from both sides"$

$cancel(2x)cancel(-2x)-5y=10-2x$

$rArr-5y=-2x+10$

$"divide all terms by - 5"$

$(cancel(-5) y)/cancel(-5)=(-2)/(-5)x+10/(-5)$

$rArry=2/5x-2larrcolor(red)" in slope-intercept form"$

$rArr"slope "=2/5" y-intercept "=-2$
