{ \qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}}

Here's the solution ~

To get the slope intercept form, we need to express the value of y in terms of x ~


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 10x + 4y = 16


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 4y = 16 - 10x


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: (4y)/(4) = (16)/(4) - (10x)/(4)


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: y = - (5x)/(2) + 4

So, the correct choice is : B
