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=3/2#
#rArry=3/2x+blarrcolor(blue)"is the partial equation"#
#"to find b substitute "(-8,6)" into the partial equation"#
#6=-12+brArrb=6+12=18#
#rArry=3/2x+18larrcolor(red)"in slope-intercept form"#
