Question

What is the slope of the line represented by:

5x-12y = 24

Answer 1

5/12

Explanation:

5x - 12y = 24

~Subtract 5x to both sides

-12y = 24 - 5x

~Divide -12 to everything

y = -2 + 5/12x

~Reorder

y = 5/12x - 2

Slope is represent by "m" in slope intercept form [ y = mx + b ]. As we can see m = 5/12 from the given information.

Best of Luck!
