Answer 4

\[\Large 5x + 2y = 10\]


\[\Large 2y = 10-5x\]


\[\Large 2y = -5x+10\]


\[\Large y = \frac{-5x+10}{2}\]


\[\Large y = \frac{-5x}{2}+\frac{10}{2}\]


\[\Large y = -\frac{5}{2}x+5\]


So the equation is now in slope intercept form y = mx+b where m is the slope and (0, b) is the y-intercept.


In this case, we see that \[\Large m = -\frac{5}{2}\]


So the slope of the line is \[\Large -\frac{5}{2}\]
