Answer:


\sf \: y = -7x + 9

Explanation:

Now we have to,

→ write this in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is,

→ y = mx + b

Let's solve the given problem,

→ y = mx + b

→ y -(-12) = -7(x - 3)

→ y + 12 = -7(x) - 7(-3)

→ y = -7x + 21 - 12

→ [ y = -7x + 9 ]

Hence, the answer is y = -7x + 9.

Answer:

  • y = - 7x + 9

----------------------------------

Given equation in point-slope form:

  • y - (-12) = - 7(x - 3)

Convert this into slope-intercept form y = mx + b:

  • y - (-12) = - 7(x - 3)
  • y + 12 = - 7x + 21
  • y = - 7x + 21 - 12
  • y = - 7x + 9
