Hey there!

This linear equation is written in standard form, a form in which it's quite easy to find intercepts for one main reason. This reason revolves around zeros. When you see an x intercept, there's always a zero for the y, and when there's a y you see a zero for the x. Therefore, we can do this to get the intercepts.

For x:

2x-5(0) =10
2x = 10
x = (5,0)

For y:

2(0) -5y = 10
-5y=10
y= (0,-2)

Now, to find the slope, we can easily convert it to slope intercept form:

y = mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is he y intercept.

2x-5y=10
-5y=-2x+10
y = 2/5x-2
(notice how we divided both sides by -5)

Therefore, our slope is 2/5. Hope this helps!

The inequality would start out looking like this:
-30\ \textless \  \frac{5}{9} (F-32)\ \textless \ 130
Now it's just a matter of solving the inequalities simultaneously. Get rid of the fraction by multiplying everything by 9:
-270\ \textless \ 5(F-32)\ \textless \ 1170
Then distribute the 5 into the parenthesis:
-270\ \textless \ 5F-160\ \textless \ 1170
Now add 160 everywhere:
-110\ \textless \ 5F\ \textless \ 1330
and finally divide everything by 5:
-22<F<266
