Greetings!

Answer:

The slope is 5

Explanation:

To find the slope, the equation must be in the form y = mx + b

So we need to rearrange the given equation.

To do this we can simply move the -10x over to the other side, making it a +10x:

2y = 10x - 30

Now to get 1y, we can divide every number in the equation by 2:

y = 5x - 15

The slope is the number in front of the x.

So if it is 5x then the slope must be 5!


Hope this helps!
