ANSWER:

2

Explanation:

We have the following equation of line:


4x-2y=10

The equation of the line in its slope and intercept form is like this:


\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ \text{where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept} \end{gathered}

Therefore, we must solve for y to know the value of the slope (m), like this:


\begin{gathered} 4x-2y=10 \\ 2y=4x-10 \\ y=(4x-10)/(2) \\ y=(4x)/(2)-(10)/(2) \\ y=2x-5 \\ \text{therefore,} \\ m=2 \end{gathered}

The slope is 2
