Answer:

y = -2x + 5

slope = -2

y intercept = 5

Explanation:

Slope intercept form of equation of line is given by y = mx + c

where m is the slope of line

c is the y intercept i.e point where given line intersect y axis.

________________________________________________

given equation 4x + 2y = 10

we have to re-write this equation in form y = mx + c

4x + 2y = 10

subtraction 4x from LHS and RHS

4x + 2y - 4x= 10 - 4x

2y = 10- 4x

we have to eliminate 2 from y for that we

divide LHS and RHS by 2 we

2y /2 = 10/2- 4x/2

y = 5 - 2x

rearranging it in y = mx+c form

y = -2x + 5

thus, m = -2 , c = 5
