Answer:

y = 3/2 x + 9

Explanation:

take the two points and find slope :

12 - 3 / 2 - (-4) = 3/2

then use the slope and one of the points to find the y-intercept :

y = 3/2 x + b

3 = 3/2 * (-4) + b (Substitute)

3 = -6 + b (Multiplication)

3 + 6 = -6 + b + 6 (Addition)

b = 9

so, your final slope-intercept equation is :

y = 3/2 x + 9
