To find the slope of the line given by the equation $2x - 5y = -14$, we first solve for $y$ in terms of $x$ to get it into the slope-intercept form $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope. Solving for $y$, we get $5y = 2x + 14$, then $y = \frac{2}{5}x + \frac{14}{5}$. Therefore, the slope $m$ is $\frac{2}{5}$.
