Answer:

-2/5

Explanation:

To find the slope of an equation, we first convert the equation into Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b, where m is the slope, and b is the y- intercept.

=================================================================

Add 2x to both sides. [Addition Property of Equality]

-2x - 5y = 10

+2x +2x

-------------------

-5y = 2x - 10

Divide -5 on both sides. [Division Property of Equality]

-5y/-5 = 2x/-5 - 10/-5

y = -2/5 x + 2

Comparing to y = mx + b form, we see that our m value, or slope is -2/5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

m= -2/5

=================================================================

Hope I Helped, have a fantastic day!
