I know that it's a straight line because the equation is written in this format; y=mx+b (this is a linear equation meaning that it must be a straight line). In that equation, m is our slope and b is our y-intercept with this information. I know that the y-intercept is 2 since this equation is this y= –12x+2 (the 2 replaced the b which is our y-intercept). The line does not pass through the origin because its y-intercept is 2 which means it's impossible for the line to pass through the origin. (I hope this makes sense)
