5 0

Answer:

3/5

Step-by-step explanation

Ratio =second term divided inti first term a2/a1

a1=5/12 a2=1/4

1/4: 5/12 is the same as 1/4*12/5 =12/20 = 3/5

5/12*3/5 = 15/60 = 1/4

1/4* 3/5 =3/20

3/20*3/5 =9/100

9/100 *3/5 = 27/500..........

Answer:

$y=\frac{1}{6}x+6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $(x_1,y_1)\rightarrow(-6,5)$ and $(x_2,y_2)\rightarrow(6,7)$

Determine slope

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\ \\m=\frac{7-5}{6-(-6)}\\ \\m=\frac{2}{6+6}\\ \\m=\frac{2}{12}\\ \\m=\frac{1}{6}$

Use either ordered pair to find the y-intercept

$y=mx+b\\\\7=\frac{1}{6}(6)+b\\\\7=1+b\\\\6=b$

Final equation

$y=\frac{1}{6}x+6$
