Write an equation of a line that has the same slope as 2x – 5y = 12 and the same y-intercept as 4y + 24 = 5x.

y = 1/6x - 5/2
y = 2/5x - 6
y = 6x - 2/5
y = 5/2x - 6

in ax+by=c form
slope=-a/b

y intercept is when x=0


sloope of 2x-5y=12 is -2/-5=2/5

y intercept of 4y+24=5x
4y+24=5(0)
4y+24=0
4y=-24
y=-6
y int=-6

y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y intercept
y=2/5x-6

answer is 2nd optoin
