To find the equation of a line that passes through the points (-12,0) and (0,1)
We will follow the steps below
We will first find the slope
slope (m) = y₂-y₁ / x₂-x₁
From the question x₁= -12 y₁ =0 x₂=0 y₂=1
Substituting the above into the slope(m) formula
m = 1-0 / 0+12
m = 1/12
We will now proceed to use the formula below to find the equation of the line;
y-y₁ = m(x - x₁)
we already know our; x₁ , y₁ and the slope(m), so we will just substitute into the above formula
y-0 = 1/12 (x+12)
We can further simplify the above to give;
12y = x+ 12
