Solution

The correct option is D $s l o p e = m = - 1 a n d y - i n t e r c e p t = c = \frac{5}{2} .$
The given equation is $2 y + 2 x - 5 = 0$ ........ $(1)$
To obtain the slope and $y -$ intercept of the given equation, we write it in slope-intercept form which is
$y = m x + c$ , where $m$ and $c$ are slope and $y -$ intercept
From $(1)$ ,
$2 y + 2 x - 5 = 0 ⟹ y = - x + \frac{5}{2}$
Comparing it with $y = m x + c$ we get,
slope $= m = - 1$ and y-intercept $= c = \frac{5}{2}$
Hence, option C is correct.
