No. Solve for y:
10 + 5x = 2y, so y = (5/2)x + 5. So the slope is (5/2).

No.
10=-5x+2y rearrange to slope intercept form
2y=5x-10
y=2.5x-5
slope=2.5 or 2 1/2

No, you need to do this:
Slope-intercept form:
y=mx+b
10=-5x+2y
Add 5x on both sides:
2y=5x+10
Divide 2 on both sides:
y=(5/2)x+5
Since slope=m, the slope in this problem is 5/2.
I hope that helps!

You have to rewrite this in the form of y = something.
2y = 5x +10
y = 5/2 x + 5
This is the slope intercept form, which tells you the slope is 5/2 and the y-intercept is at (0,5).

Put any linear equation into the form y=mx+c and the gradient (slope) will the coefficient of x: m.
10 = -5x + 2y
2y = 5x +10
y = 5/2x +5
Thus the slope is 5/2x.

The slope in standard form is -a/b, which gives 5/2.
