First consider (x+c)^2 where c is just a random constant. if we expand this by foil (which is distributive property twice), we get x^2 + 2cx+ c^2. we want to find c^2 and to do that, we can first find c. we can find c by looking at the 2cx term. this term should match with 12x, so therefore 2c = 12 so c = 6. this also implies that c^2 = 36.
note that for this problem i was working backwards which is a very powerful problem solving tool: start with what you want to attain, and then see how you can go from where you are now to get to your destination.

Answer:
y=mx+c
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear equation means the equation of straight line.
The formula for equation of straight line in slope intercept form is y=mx+c
where, m is the slope of line and c is the y intercept
The formula for equation of straight line in double intercept form is x/a+y/b=1
The formula for equation of straight line in normal form is xcos α + y cos α=p
There are more formulas bur assuming you are asking for the general representation of the straight-line equation, it is y=mx+c.
