The slope cannot be found when only one co-ordinate is given.
One may assume the line is vertical or horizontal

I did the problem and I got negative 4 over 9
Answer:
5/3 = z
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use proportions to figure this out.
Imma solve this as I work through it.
So
4/z is equal to 12/5. So you can do something called the butterfly method (I have never used this before, but it works tho) and the method involves only multiplication and division.
Lemme clean this up for ya
The butterfly method involves multiplying in a cross format on both sides, so the
4 12
__ = ______
z 5
becomes 4 times 5, and z times 12.
4 times 5 is 20, and z times 12 is 12z
so you now have 20 = 12z
Lets simplify the equation by dividing by 4s
20 divided by 4 is 5 and 12z divided by 4 is 3z
so
5 = 3z
You can divide again
by dividing both sides
by
3
to get the unit rate of z.
It will be a fraction though
and it won't look pretty
but here it is:
5
__ = z
3
So
It is
5/3
Hope this helps
and hope you get a laugh out of this
