The equation of a line in the slope intercept form is expressed as

y = mx + c

where

m represents slope

c represents y intercept

The equation of the given line is expressed as

5x - y = 2

By adding y to both sides of the equation, it becomes

5x - y + y = 2 + y

5x = 2 + y

Subtracting 2 from both sides, we have

5x - 2 = 2 - 2 + y

y = 5x - 2

By comparing this equation with the slope intercept equation,

the slope is 5

y intercept = - 2
