Add to both sides.

Multiply both sides by

The result will be in the form

The value of is the slope or gradient, and the point is the -intercept.

2x - 5y = 10
Put items in the form
y = mx + c
m= gradient c = y intercept
-5y = -2x + 10
Multiply through by -1
5y = 2x - 10
Divide through by 5
y = 2/5x - 2
Gradient = 2/5 and y intercept
is -2
