The slope is #-2# the intercept is #10#.

Explanation:

You first have to put the equation in the format

#y=mx+q#

I start movint everything with the #y# on the left and everything else on the right, remebering that if I pass "accross" the #=# I have to change sign.

#2y+4x=20#

#2y=-4x+20#

now I divide by two both sides of the equation to remove the 2 in front of the #y#.

#y=-2x+10#.

Now it is in the format #y=mx+q# where #m=-2# is the slope and #q=10# is the intercept.
