Answer:

y=-3x+6

Explanation:

I found the rise over run by doing x1-x2/y1-y2 and found it to be 4/-12 then simplify to -3 and that's the slope. to find the intercept you get the x-intercept which is a given of 2 scince the slope is negative with the x-intercept being positive the y-intercept is going to be positive 2×3 =6 so y intercept is 6.(Sorryfor makingthe explanationof y-interceptdo complicated)
