You don't have any of the choices listed, but I'll tell you how to identify the correct answer

The easiest way is to put this response (and the possible options) into standard form.

7x - 12y = -32
7x + 32 = 12y
7/12x + 32/12 = y
y = 7/12x + 8/3

The answer should have a slope of 7/12, but not a y intercept of 8/3
