Let's say that the unknown value here is c. Although we are given two points on the line, it is only necessary to use one as there is only one unknown value, so let's say we choose the point (6, -12) and substitute this into the equation:

-12 = 1(6) - c
-12 - 6 = -c
-18 = -c
c = 18

Thus the equation for the line is y = 1x - 18

How to prove this???

$\cos^3 2A + 3 \cos 2A \\
\Rightarrow \cos 2A (\cos^2 2A + 3) \\
\Rightarrow (\cos^2 A - \sin^2 A) (\cos^2 2A + 3) \\
\Rightarrow (\cos^2 A - \sin^2 A) (1 - \sin^2 2A + 3) \\
\Rightarrow (\cos^2 A - \sin^2 A) (4 - \sin^2 2A) \\
\Rightarrow (\cos^2 A - \sin^2 A) (4 - (2\sin A \cos A)(2\sin A \cos A)) \\
\Rightarrow (\cos^2 A - \sin^2 A) (4 - 4\sin^2 A \cos^2 A) \\ 
\Rightarrow 4(\cos^2 A - \sin^2 A) (1 - \sin^2 A \cos^2 A) 
$

go to right side now

$4( \cos^6 A - \sin^6 A)\\
\Rightarrow 4( \cos^3 A - \sin^3 A)(\cos^3 A + \sin^3 A)$

use $x^3 - y^3 = (x-y)(x^2 + xy + y^2)$ and $x^3 + y^3 = x^2 - xy + y^2$

$4( \cos^6 A - \sin^6 A)\\ \Rightarrow 4( \cos^3 A - \sin^3 A)(\cos^3 A + \sin^3 A) \\
\Rightarrow 4(\cos A - \sin A)(\cos^2 A + \cos A \sin A + \sin^2 A) \\
~\quad \quad\cdot ( \cos A + \sin A)(\cos^2 A - \cos A \sin A + \cos^2 A)$

so $\sin^2 A + \cos^2 A = 1$

$4( \cos^6 A - \sin^6 A)\\ \Rightarrow 4(\cos A - \sin A)(\cos^2 A + \cos A \sin A + \sin^2 A) \\ ~\quad \quad\cdot ( \cos A + \sin A)(\cos^2 A - \cos A \sin A + \cos^2 A) \\ \Rightarrow 4(\cos^2 A - \sin^2 A)(1 + \cos A \sin A )(1- \cos A \sin A ) \\ \Rightarrow 4(\cos^2 A - \sin^2 A)(1 - \cos^2 A \sin^2 A )\\ \Rightarrow 4(\cos^2 A - \sin^2 A)(1 - \sin^2 A \cos^2 A ) \\
 \Rightarrow Left hand side$
