How to solve for theta?
$begingroup$
$$-12sinθ-5cosθ=0$$
Is it possible? or do I need to generate a graph? I heard the Newton Raphson Method can be used...not sure how to proceed please advise.
I'm trying to calculate the minimum and maximum values of: $y=12cosθ-5sinθ$
The equation above is a derivitive of $y$.

You can solve $asin theta+bcostheta=c$ in general (see this question).

I don't think you should differentiate.
Your $y$ can be written as
$$
y(theta)=13 cos(theta+arctan(5/12)).
$$
Can you see from this what the maximum and minimum values are?
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
I didn't do it that way, but something like it, I calculated the arctan of -5/12...then I minused that value from 180 and 360 degrees to get the min and max points...then subed those values back into y, and received the answers -13 and 13....I'm mind boggled here but I got the answer at the back of the book anyway!

Hint: Check if $theta=pi/2,3pi/2$ (I'm considering the interval $[0,2pi]$ ) are solutions, and then divide by $cos$ and solve for $tan$.

$$12sintheta+5costheta=0\impliesfrac{12}{13}sintheta+frac5{13}costheta=0$$
Now let $cos a=frac{12}{13},sin a=frac{5}{13}$. This works because $sin^2a+cos^2a=1$. We now have
$$cos asintheta+sin acostheta=0\impliessin(theta+a)=0
\impliestheta=pi n-a$$ for integer $n$.

Yes, it is possible, though the answer might not look nice. First divide by $-12$: $$begin{align}&sintheta + frac 5{12}costheta = 0implies \ implies &sintheta = -frac 5{12}costheta \[2ex] implies &sin^2theta = frac{25}{144}cos^2theta \[2ex] implies &1 - cos^2theta = frac{25}{144}cos^2thetaend{align}$$

y = 12cosx -5sinx
y'= -12sinx -5cosx
put y'=0
-12sinx -5cosx = 0
12sinx + 5cosx =0 (multiplied by -1 both sides )
12sinx = -5cosx
sinx/cosx=-5/12
tanx=-5/12
X = tan inverse (-5/12)
Now can you proceed?

$$12sintheta+5costheta=0\impliesfrac{12}{13}sintheta+frac5{13}costheta=0$$
Now let $cos a=frac{12}{13},sin a=frac{5}{13}$. This works because $sin^2a+cos^2a=1$. We now have
$$cos asintheta+sin acostheta=0\impliessin(theta+a)=0
\impliestheta=pi n-a$$ for integer $n$.
