To determine the slope of a line is best to write the equation on the slope-intercept form.

The general structure of that form is

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Where

m is the slope

b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept

Then to determine the slope of the given equation you have to write it in terms of y

[tex]2000=20x+10y[/tex]

Pass the x-term to the other side

[tex]2000-20x=10y[/tex]

Divide both sides by 10

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2000}{10}-\frac{20}{10}x=\frac{10}{10}y \\ 200-2x=y \\ y=\text{-}2x+200 \end{gathered}[/tex]

From this equation, we can determine that the slope corresponds to the coefficient that multiplies the x-term

[tex]y=-2x+200[/tex]

The slope is m=-2
