To solve, we need to use point/slope form. Point slope form states: Y-Y1=M(X-X1) where M=the slope and X/Y equal the points. Thus: Y-10=12(X-1) Solving, we get:1. Y-10=12x-1 2. Y-10+10=12x-12+103. Y=12x-2Hope this answers your question!Benjamin

Just plug the information provided into the slope-intercept equation:y = mx + b10 = 12(1) + bSolve for b = -2 and the problem answer is:y = 12x -2Hope that helps
