-12x/-4= -27 (-4)-12x/-4 it will cancel the 4 but you gotta multiply on the other side by 4 too now have -12x =108 -12x=108 divide 108 by -12x which x=-9
So as you can see, -3 is the y-intercept. You would make a point on (-3,0) first. Then from the point, you would go up 1 and go right 2 because the slope is a positive 1/2 slope.
