Answer:

y =
(3)/(4) x - 3

Explanation:

Coordinates of x-intercept are (x, 0)

Coordinates of y-intercept are (0, y)

(0, - 3)

(4, 0)

Slope m =
(3)/(4)

y =
(3)/(4) x - 3

y =
(3)/(4) ( - 4) - 3 = - 6

(- 4, - 6)

y =
(3)/(4) ( - 16) - 3 = - 15

(- 16, - 15)

12 =
(3)/(4) x - 3

(3)/(4) x = 15

x = 20

(20, 12)
