Answer:


-12m + 12m =0

Explanation:

Given


Initial\ Position = -12m


Rise = 12m

Required

Represent as an equation

The new position of the hook is calculated by:


New\ Position = Initial\ Position + Rise

This gives:


New\ Position = -12m + 12m


New\ Position = 0

Hence, the equation is:


-12m + 12m =0
