Question

what is the slope of the line represented by 5x - 12y= 24

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = -coefficient of y/cofficient of x

= -(-12)/5

=12/5

hope you got your answer

Answer 2

Answer:

given: 5x - 12y = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope, bring the given equation to slope-intercept form => y = m x + c then m gives the slope

5x - 12y = 24

=> -12 y = -5 x + 24

=> y = -5/-12 x + 24/(-12)

=> y = 5/12 x - 2

on comparing with slope-intercept form,

we get slope m = 5/12
