Answer:


y= -(1)/(2) x-3

Explanation:

Slope intercept form :

y = mx + b

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

Let's look for m, use the formula
((y_(1)-y_(2) ) )/((x_(1) -x_(2) )) to determine it.


(-9 - (-2))/(12 - (-2))
= -(1)/(2)


y = -(1)/(2)x+b

Now find b, we simply need to plug in one of our coordinates to get our answer.

(12, -9)


-9=-(1)/(2) (12)+b

Solve for b :

-9 = -6 + b

-3 = b

b = -3

Our slope intercept is :


y = -(1)/(2)x - 3
