Answer

$y$-intercept: $y = 0$, slope: $m = \displaystyle \frac{2}{5}$

Work Step by Step

The slope-intercept form of a line: $y = mx + b$ where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the $y$-intercept. Isolate for $y$, $2x-5y=0$ $5y=2x$ $\displaystyle y = \frac{2}{5}x$ Thus, $y$-intercept: $y = 0$, slope: $m = \displaystyle \frac{2}{5}$
