Explanation:
#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.
#•color(white)(x)y=mx+b#
#"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"#
#"rearrange "2x+5y=10" into this form"#
#"subtract 2x from both sides"#
#cancel(2x)cancel(-2x)+5y=-2x+10#
#rArr5y=-2x+10#
#"divide all terms by 5"#
#rArry=-2/5x+2larrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"#
#"with slope "=-2/5" and y-intercept "=2#
