slope $= \frac{1}{5}$ $=1/5$

$x + 5 y = 10$ $x+5y=10$

$\Rightarrow 5 y = - x + 10$ $=>5y=-x+10$

$\Rightarrow y = \frac{x}{5} + 2$ $=>y=x/5+2$ $(1)$ $" "color(red)((1))$

We know that,

$y = m x + c$ $y=mx+c$ $(2)$ $" "color(red)((2))$

compare $(1)$ $" "color(red)((1))$ & $(2)$ $" "color(red)((2))$

$m = \frac{1}{5}$ $m=1/5$
