Answer:
1:17
Step-by-step explanation:
Find out how long it it between 5.30pm and 9am. This is 8 hours 30 minutes or 510 minutes.
Now, arrange them in the ratio of Lunch Break to Total office time
30:510. This can be simplified to 1:17
Please check if the question is worded correctly, just in case. Because ratio questions are usually based on a part and the remaining parts of the same thing, and not part to whole.
Anyway. The answer given if for the question you have typed.
Hope this helps.

let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction and then take it from there, keeping in mind that the whole is "x".

In standard form, slope is always the negative of the x coefficient over the y coefficient.
If you dont want to have that memorized, you can use algebra to get the equation of the line into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)
Set it equal to y
2x - 5y = 6
2x = 5y + 6
2x - 6 = 5y
(2/5)x - 6/5 = y
Now it is in slope intercept form. In slope intercept form, the coefficient multiplying with x is the slope of the line. Therefore, the slope equals 2/5.
