Impossible to tell, as you have not equarted it with anything.

However, if you mean 5x - 2y = 40

The algebraically rearranging

2y = 5x - 40

Divide both sides by '2'

Hence

y = ( 5/2) x - 20

The y-intercepy is when x= zero(0)

Substituting

y = ( 5/2)0 - 20

y = 0 -20

y = -20 The y-interncept.

Remember for ALL straight lines. of the form y = mx + c

'm' is the slope/gradient, and 'c' is the y-intercept.

If you mean: 5x-2y = 40 then y = 2.5x-20 whereas -20 is the y intercept and 2.5 is the slope
