Slope is #-2# and intercepts on #y# axis and #x# axis, both are #0#.

Explanation:

To find slope, #y# intercept and #x# intercept in the equation, let us convert it to slope-intercept form #y=mx+c#, which gives #m# as slope of the line and #c# as #y# intercept.

As we have #-10x-5y=0#

#-5y=10x# or #y=10x/-5=-2x# or

#y=-2x+0#.

Hence, slope is #-2# and #y# intercept is #0#.

For #x# intercept, put #y=0# in the equation which gives

#-10x-5xx0=0# or #-10x=0# i.e. #x=0#

Hence slope is #-2# and intercepts on #y# axis and #x# axis, both are #0#.
