The form for slope-intercept is:

$\sf{y=mx+b}$

where m is our slope and b is our y-intercept.

The line's equation is in standard form, and we need to convert it to

y = mx + b.

Given equation:

$\sf{2x-10y=-20}$

Subtract 2x from both sides

$\sf{-10y=-20-2x}$

Remove each minus

$\sf{10y=20+2x}$

Now, divide each term by 10

$\sf{y=\cfrac{20}{10}+\cfrac{2}{10}x}$

$\sf{y=2+\cfrac{1}{5}x}$

$\stackrel{answer}{\boxed{\sf{y=\cfrac{1}{5}x+2}}}$
