Answer:

y = 12x - 37

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

here m = 12, thus

y = 12x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (3, - 1) into the partial equation

- 1 = 36 + c ⇒ c = - 1 - 36 = - 37

y = 12x - 37 ← is the equation of the line
