Answer:

y = 8x + 12

Explanation:

The equation for all linear equations (slope-intercept form) is y = mx + b where m = slope and b = the y-intercept.

According to the information given, the slope is 8, and the y-intercept is 12. The y-intercept is 12 because the line touches the y-axis at (0,12).

That means that m = 8 and b = 12...

y = mx + b

y = 8x + 12

I hope this helps! Have a great day!
