Answer:
y = 3x + 40
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Here m = 3 , then
y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (- 12, 4 ) into the partial equation
4 = - 36 + c ⇒ c = 4 + 36 = 40
y = 3x + 40 ← equation of line
20 = -d + 16 <em>subtract 16 from both sides</em>
20 - 16 = -d + 16 - 16
4 = -d <em>change the signs</em>
-4 = d ⇒ d = -4
This is a contradiction
