Answer: The slope is 6

The attachment shows the graph of this equation.

Step-by-step explanation: It will help to put this equation in order.

We can get standard form by subtracting 2y from both sides

12x=-10+2y becomes 12x - 2y = -10

For slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, m is the slope, b is the y-intercept

we need to isolate y on the left. Subtract 12x from both sides.

12x - 2y = -10 becomes -2y = -12x - 10

Then divide both sides by -2 to end up with

y = 6x + 5

The slope is m, the coefficient of the x,

That is 6 in this equation.
