Answer:y=3/20+12m+6

Step-by-step explanation: The equation for these types of problems are y=mx+b

the y is the second number, so in the first one the y would be -6, so you replace the y with the -6 and the x with -12

so now the equation is -6=-12m+b

you add the -12m to the other side to make 12m+6=b

now onto the second one, the 9 is the y and the 8 is the x, now the equation is 9=8m+b

this time you replace the b with the equation you got earlier (12m+6=b)

So the equation is 9=8m+12m+6

minus the 6 on both sides

3=8m+12m

add the m's

3=20m

3/20=m

Now you replace the m and the b

y=3/20x+12m+6

(Hopefully im sorry if this isnint correct :) )
