Answer:

4x is the greatest common factor of those two.

Step-by-step explanation:

(-16x + 12x)

4x (-4 + 3)

4x is the GCF

Why you may ask is 4x the GCF because when you divide 4x from both you're left with -4 + 3...... you can't take out the negative from the 16 because when you check your work negative 4x times 3 gives you negative 12x which isn't the equation you started with. So positive 4x times 3 give you 12x.

Hopes this helps!!!

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{12}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-7})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies \cfrac{1}{6} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-(-7)=\cfrac{1}{6}(x-12) \\\\\\ y+7=\cfrac{1}{6}x-2\implies y=\cfrac{1}{6}x-9$
