To write the equation in slope-intercept form, isolate y from the equation:


5y+2x=-10

Substract 2x from both sides of the equation:


5y=-10-2x

Divide both sides by 5:


\begin{gathered} y=(-10-2x)/(5) \\ =-(10)/(5)-(2)/(5)x \\ =-(2)/(5)x-2 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the equation in slope-intercept form turns into:


y=-(2)/(5)x-2
