2x - 4y = 10

Turn this into slope-intercept form :)

Slope-intercept form : y = mx + b

Where m = slope, and b = slope intercept.

So, we're basically taking the x and moving it to the other side :)

2x - 4y = 10

Subtract 2x from both sides.

-4y = -2x + 10

Divide both sides by -4.

y = 1/2x -5/4

So, our slope is 1/2 because it is in the "m" value.

Our answer is D) 1/2

~Hope I helped!~
