Answer:
Slope = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of a line is y = mx + c
where
m is the slope
c is the y intercept
From the question the equation is
- 5x + 10y = 20
To find the slope we must first write the equation in the form above
- 5x + 10y = 20
Move - 5x to the right side of the equation
10y = 5x + 20
Divide both sides by 10
We have
[tex]y = \frac{5}{10} x + \frac{20}{10} [/tex]
[tex]y = \frac{1}{2} x + 10[/tex]
Comparing with the general form of equation above
Slope / m = 1/2
Hope this helps you
