Your equation is in standard form. Move it to slope-intercept form and you can just pick out the slope and y-intercept.
Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, so you need to isolate the y value.
Subtract 2x from both sides to get
5y = -2x + 10
Divide each term by 5
y = (-2/5)x + 2
The m is the slope and the b is the y-intercept, so in your equation, the slope is (-2/5) and the y-intercept is 2.

y = mx + b m = slope slope = rise/run
2 lines to start a graph the vertical y axis
and the horizontal x axis.
It takes 2 points to graph a line.
If x = 0 than y =2 so one point is (0,2)
If y = 0 than x = 5 so another point is (5,0)
5y = 10 - 2x
y = (10 -2x ) / 5
y = 2 -2/5 x
the slope is -2/5 and the y intercept ( 0,2 )

remember
the slope is seen with this slope intercept form
y = mx +b
so:
5y = -2x + 10
y = -2/5x + 2
so m = -2/5
y- intercept is 2
in graphing, just substitute and number for x or y then calculate for x or y..those are the points..thenconnect the points and you have a line

2x+5y+=10 subtract 2x 4rm both sides
-2x -2x
5y=-2x+10 divide by 5 on both sides
/5 /5 /5
y=-2/5x+2 slope=-2/5 y-int=2

2x+5y=10
5y=-2x+10
y= -2/5 x + 10
m= -2/5, b=10
slope is -2/5, y intercept is 10
