What is the slope of the line represents by 5x-12y=24 -2 24/5 -12 5/12 How do you get the answer? Please epxlain

5x - 12y = 24 - it's a standard form of equation of a line

The slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept.

Convert the standard form to the slope-intercept form:

$5x - 12y = 24$ <em>subtract 5x from both sides</em>

$-12y=-5x+24$ <em>divide both sides by (-12)</em>

$y=\dfrac{5}{12}x-2$

Answer: $\boxed{\dfrac{5}{12}}$

Answer:

z = 113

y = 31

Step-by-step explanation:

j || n and line a is their transversal. (given)

Therefore,

z° = 180° - 67° (exterior angles on the same side of transversal)

z°= 113°

z = 113

(5y - 88)° = 67° (exterior alternate angles)

5y - 88 = 67

5y = 67 + 88

5y = 155

y = 155/5

y = 31

Using the rational root theorem, it is found that your friend is correct.

<h3>What is the rational root theorem?</h3>

It is a theorem that states that for a polynomial with integer coefficients, with q being the factors of the leading coefficient and p being the factors of the constant, every <u>possible rational root</u> is the format $\frac{p}{q}$ .

In this problem:

The leading coefficient is 1, hence it's only factor is $q = 1$ , thus guaranteeing that every possible rational zero is an integer, which means that your friend is correct.
