Question 205435
First find the slope of 2x-5y=12 

Sove for y:
-5y = -2x + 12


{{{y = (-2x)/(-5) + 12/(-5)}}}
{{{y=(2/5)x -12/5}}}


The slope is 2/5.


Next find the y-intercept of 4y+24=5x
Let x = 0, and 4y+24=0
4y=-24
y=-6


The equation with slope 2/5 and y intercept y=-6 will be 
{{{Y=(2/5)x -6}}}.
