Answer: y = 12x - 41

Explanation:

The choices are not given, but you can figure this out.

Slope intercept form is y = mx + b

Substitute the y and x-values into the equation to calculate b, the y-intercept.

19 = 12(5) + b

19 = 60 + b

-60 + 19 =b

-41 = b

Write the equation with y and x, include the given slope and the calculated y-intercept:

y = 12x + 41
