The slope of the line is 12.

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope, is the y-intercept, and x and y are a point on the line.

In order to determine the slope from the given equation do the following:

2x−4y=10 (Subtract 2x from both sides.)

−4y=−2x+10 (Divide both sides by -4.)

y=−2x−4+10−4 (Simplify.)

y=12x−52
