Answer

Slope: $2$ $y$-intercept: $(0,-10)$

Work Step by Step

Rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form. $4x-2y=20$ $-2y=-4x+20$ $y=2x-10$ The slope is the coefficient of $x$, and the constant term that is added is the $y$ value in the $y$-intercept of $(0,y)$. Slope: $2$ $y$-intercept: $(0,-10)$
