Answer:

slope=1

Explanation:

To solve this you need to put the equation into the form of y=x+b. To do this you need to get the y and x variables on the opposite sides.

-2y-10+2x=0

First you need to add 10 to both sides.

-2y+2x=10

Then you need to subtract 2x from each side.

-2y=-2x+10

Now divide by -2.

y=x-5

The slope is the coefficient of x, the answer in this case is 1 so the slope of the line is 1.
