To find the slope, u need to put the equation in y = mx + b form, where m will be ur slope.

2x - 4y = 10 ... subtract 2x from both sides
-4y = -2x + 10...divide both sides by -4
y = (-2/-4)x + (-10/4)
y = 1/2x - 5/2

y = mx + b
y = (1/2)x - 5/2
the slope(m) = 1/2

An angle passes through the point (-7,-5). What is the compass heading of this angle?

To find the angle use arc tan (-5/-7) which simplifies tips arctan(5/7). arc tan is tan to the power -1, which is also called inverse tan. The heading of the angle, if you drew this out on a graph your angle would be in the third quadrant and therefore the heading is south of west.
