    To solve for the slope of this problem, we first need to get this equation in the form y = mx + b. We can start do that by adding 2y to each side.

    -5x - 2y + 2y = 26 + 2y

    Get 2y by itself

    -5x-26=2y

    Divide by two

    y = - 2.5x - 13

    In an equation written in the form y = mx + b, m is the slope, so the slope in this equation is - 2.5.
