Explanation:
#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.
#•color(white)(x)y=mx+b#
#"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"#
#"here "m=1/2#
#rArry=1/2x+blarrcolor(blue)"is the partial equation"#
#"to find b substitute "(-12,3)" into the partial equation"#
#3=-6+brArrb=3+6=9#
#rArry=1/2x+9larrcolor(red)"in slope-intercept form"#
