5x - 12y = 24 - it's a standard form of equation of a line

The slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept.

Convert the standard form to the slope-intercept form:


5x - 12y = 24 subtract 5x from both sides


-12y=-5x+24 divide both sides by (-12)


y=(5)/(12)x-2

Answer:
\boxed{(5)/(12)}
