To find the slope of a linear equation, we rearrange the equation into the format y = mx + b

5x - 12y = 24                            // Equation given

5x - 12y + 12y = 24 + 12y        // Add 12y on both sides

5x = 24 + 12y                           // Simplify

5x - 24 = 24 + 12y - 24            // Subtract 24 from both sides

5x - 24 = 12y                           // Simplify

12y = 5x - 24                           // Switch sides to make y the subject

12y ÷ 12 = (5x - 24) ÷ 12         // Divide by 12 on both sides

y = 5/12 x - 2                           // Simplify

Once we write the equation in this format, we match it against the general equation y = mx + b

we can conclude that m = 5/12

Therefore the slope is 5/12

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The product (–5)(–3)(–8)(–6) should be Positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of 2 negative numbers equal a positive product.

N * N = P

-5*-3=15

-8*-6=48

The product of 2 positive numbers is positive.

P * P = P

15 * 48 = 720

Your answer should be: Positive because the products (–5)(–3) and (–8)(–6) are positive, and the product of two positive numbers is positive.

% of 6,000 = 4,500<br> Please help
babymother [125]

Answer:

450

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution for What is 75 percent of 600:

75 percent * 600 =

(75:100)* 600 =

(75* 600):100 =

45000:100 = 450

Now we have: 75 percent of 600 = 450

Question: What is 75 percent of 600?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: Our output value is 600.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with $x$x​.

Step 3: From step 1 above,$600=100\%$600=100%​.

Step 4: Similarly, $x=75\%$x=75%​.

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

$600=100\%(1)$600=100%(1)​.

$x=75\%(2)$x=75%(2)​.

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both

equations have the same unit (%); we have

600

x​=

100%

75%​​

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

x

600​=

75

100​

Therefore, $75\%$75%​ of $600$600​ is $450$
