Form y=mx+b shows slope to be m.
Solve YOUR equation for y and adjust into slope-intercept form. Then simply read the slope from the equation.

            Sure,  I can.
            There is NOTHING easier than that. 


From equation  2x - 5y = 0 express y as a function of x.


    y = .


Do you understand how I did it ?


When you have "y" expressed as a linear function of "x", in the form 


    y = mx + b,


the slope is simply coefficient "m" at "x".


So in your case the slope is  .


That's all.
