For this case we have by definition, that the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

Where:
m: It's the slope
b: It is the cutoff point with the y axis
We need two points through which the line passes to find the slope:

We found the slope:

So, the equation is of the form:

We substitute a point to find "b":

Finally, the equation is:

Answer:
Option C
<h2>Solution :- </h2>
Let the number be "x" , then according to the question :
• 2x - 12 = -8
Further solving
→ 2x = -8 + 12
→ 2x = 4 .
→ x = 2
