Explanation:

I am not sure what the equation really looks like. there is clearly some typo in there.

but let's take it plainly.

the slope is always the factor of x for a clean "y =" function definition.

4x - 2y = 5

-2y = -4x + 5

y = 2x - 5/2

so the slope for the line as I interpreted the original definition is 2.

if the equation is different, you need to adapt the transformation.

remember, the slope is always the factor of x.
