Answer: y = -x - 9

Explanation:

slope intercept is y = mx + b, we can find the slope using the given points

m or slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

lets make (3,-12) be (x1 , y1) and (-9 , 0) be(x2,y2)

m = 0- - 12 / -9 - 3

= 12/-12

m = -1

now y = -1x + b plug in one of the points lets do (-9,0) into this

0 = -1(-9) + b

0 = 9 + b subtract 9 on both sides to find b

-9 = b

so y = -x - 9
