Answer

\begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \\\text{Slope-Intercept Form: } y=-\dfrac{3}{5}x-2 \\\text{Slope: } -\dfrac{3}{5} \end{array}

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of equality, in the form $y=mx+b$ (or the Slope-Intercept Form of Linear Equations), the given equation is equivalent to: \begin{align*} \dfrac{5y}{5}&=\dfrac{-3x-10}{5} \\\\ y&=\dfrac{-3}{5}x-\dfrac{10}{5} \\\\ y&=-\dfrac{3}{5}x-2 \end{align*} Using $y=mx+b$ (where $m$ is the slope) then the given equation has the following properties \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \\\text{Slope-Intercept Form: } y=-\dfrac{3}{5}x-2 \\\text{Slope: } -\dfrac{3}{5} \end{array}
