All we need to do here is to put the equation in slope-intercept form or y=mx%2Bb

10x=5y%2B5 given

10x-5=5y subtract 5 from both sides

2x-1=y divide both sides by 5

y=2x-1 switch the sides to put the equation in the proper form

We can then simply see that m=2 and b=-1

Thus, the slope of the line is 2

and the y-intercept is (0, -1)

I hope this helps!
