Explanation:

To write an equation in point-slope form using the point (12, -2), you need to first determine the slope of the line. The slope is given as m = 1, so the equation in point-slope form is:

y - (-2) = 1(x - 12)

Simplifying this equation gives:

y + 2 = x - 12

Adding 12 to both sides of the equation gives:

y + 2 + 12 = x

Simplifying the equation gives:

y + 14 = x

This is the equation in point-slope form for the given line, using the point (12, -2).
