First, we can start off by finding the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and the denominator. To do this, we list the factors of each two numbers till we find the common factor that is the greatest.
Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
Factors of 126: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 14, 18, 21, 42, 63, 126
Looking at the listed factors of the two numbers, which numbers are the common ones? The common factors are 1, 2, 3, and 6. We are looking for the GREATEST common factor, so out of those four numbers, which is the greatest? It is 6, so the GCF is 6.
Second, we can now divide the numerator and the denominator by the GCF (6).
Third, now we can revise our fraction in the simplified form, which we got from dividing above.

I worked the problem by hand. First I used the equation y=mx+b to find the rule for the function. To find m which is the same as the slope you use the change in y divided by the change in x. Or the change in output divided by the change in input. The two points or coordinates used were (-2,-4) and (1,-1). Once you have the slope you use y=mx+b and substitude y by any value of y (-4 or -1) and m is the slope calculated and x would be the corresponding x to the y value used (if -4 was chosen for y then -2 would be used for x). This will be used to calculate b.
