EXPLANATION

In order to turn -2x + 10y = 2 into slope-intercept form:

First, as we know, the generic slope-intercept form is:

y= mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Going back to our equation:

-2x + 10y = 2

Adding +2x to both sides:

-2x + 2x + 10y = 2 + 2x

Adding similar terms:

10y = 2 + 2x

Dividing both sides by 10:

10y/10 = 2/10 + 2x/10

Simplifying:

y = 1/5 + x/5 --> Slope-intercept form
